Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B to prove it.

Nobody else had Graham Mertz anywhere near the 162nd overall pick. The Panthers did, by 149 spots, and that gap is the whole story. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Henderson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at slot 57. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
The board had Demetrius Knight Jr. higher than No. 74, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They read the board right and Jake Majors was the payoff at the 109th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
The board fumbled Tez Johnson all the way to the 112th pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at Round 5, Pick 2 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at Round 5, Pick 8 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Graham Mertz
Graham Mertz at the 162nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Logan Parr
They took Logan Parr at par in pick 227, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
