Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Kamran James selection is the head-turner. The Panthers reached 29 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Tate steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 19th pick they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
Good price on Keith Abney II in Round 2, Pick 19, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick83 Rnd3 Taurean York
A slide stopped in No. 83, with Taurean York worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Logan Jones in slot 119 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick156 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gracen Halton this early at pick 156. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick157 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
A reach on Earnest Greene III in pick No. 157; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings in the 198th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kamran James
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kamran James in the 235th overall pick, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
