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

The Panthers went off the board in a big way for Barryn Sorrell, 144 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Getting Ransom where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the 57th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in No. 74 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 109, where Jake Majors graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Circle this one: Barrett Carter at slot 139 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell in the 145th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
They liked Joshua Gray enough to skip the value, taking him in the 165th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at Round 5, Pick 34 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick210 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Steal is underselling it; Lathan Ransom at No. 210 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in pick No. 227 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 James Burnip
You do not let a specialist like James Burnip reach the 241st overall pick and blink. They did not. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
