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

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Cade Stover got past him. The Panthers do not have to explain a thing at the 116th overall pick.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They are betting Davis proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Chop Robinson graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick48 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the 48th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at No. 65 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at pick No. 96 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Patrick Paul
You do not let an offensive lineman like Patrick Paul reach pick 101 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cade Stover
Cade Stover in Round 4, Pick 16 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
They liked Isaiah Davis enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 142. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
A tidy little value on Jared Wiley in the 166th pick, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. slipping to pick 240 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
