Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers let Milroe fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Panthers watched Jalen Milroe slide 69 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Every board in the league had Mays lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In pick 8 they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tre Harris
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tre Harris in the 57th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at slot 74 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at Round 4, Pick 9 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
A straight-up fair deal on Joshua Farmer at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick141 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the 141st pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tommi Hill. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jalen Milroe
They barely believed it either: Jalen Milroe still on the board at No. 164. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229 Rnd7 Cooper Mays
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cooper Mays. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
