Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Panthers won the night they stopped Jones Jr. from sliding. Grade: A.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Emery Jones Jr., the No. 124 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 164. They executed a plan and it shows in the A.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Panthers paired the rookies with proven help, Blake Cashman leading the way.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In the end it comes back to Jalen Royals, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick74 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalen Royals at the Round 3 slot is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 30, with Danny Stutsman worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Circle this one: Gunnar Helm at the 110th pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick113 Rnd4 Charles Grant
The board fumbled Charles Grant all the way to pick 113, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Taking Cam Skattebo in No. 118 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
They barely believed it either: Malachi Moore still on the board at slot 141. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at the 164th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Steal is underselling it; Cobee Bryant at pick No. 193 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick229 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
You do not let a wide receiver like Kobe Hudson reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
