Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Panthers won the night they stopped Brooks from sliding. Grade: B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Panthers watched Tahj Brooks slide 102 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The McCord reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 28 they get a centerfielder for the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to slot 58, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Tai Felton in the 67th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at No. 88 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick108 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They will replay Malachi Moore at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jack Bech
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jack Bech at pick 112 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in Round 4, Pick 37 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
They reached into another round for Kyle McCord, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Circle this one: Tahj Brooks at the 220th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at slot 230 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
