Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB+
The Panthers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The war room fell hard for Ben Sinnott, and it showed at No. 123: 34 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Smith pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick55 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They jumped the gun on Jackson Powers-Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick65 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in pick No. 65 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick102 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
By-the-book stuff, Dominick Puni at Round 4, Pick 2 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in the 120th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A wild overpay on Ben Sinnott in pick 123, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick168 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson is a better player than the 168th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at the 180th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick201 Rnd6 Isaiah Neyor
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Neyor. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Isaiah Davis
A clean, defensible pick in the 222nd overall pick with a little surplus value in Isaiah Davis. The roster fit checks out.
