Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Panthers answered their biggest question with Ewers. Grade: D.

Some picks age like wine; Jalon Walker at the 65th overall pick will need to, sitting 34 spots clear of his grade. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

Quinn Ewers gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and wide receiver is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers in the Round 1 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at pick No. 36 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick50 Rnd2 Patrick Payton
Nothing to complain about; Patrick Payton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 65th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Luke Lachey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Luke Lachey well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd4 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at pick 97 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick129 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in pick 129 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161 Rnd6 Trey Moore
The board had cheaper options than Trey Moore at pick No. 161, and it noticed. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
