Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Panthers let Paul Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a A.

The Panthers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Chris Paul Jr. fell into slot 187.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, with Malaki Starks leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In pick No. 28 they get a centerfielder for the defense, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to No. 49, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick54 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at Round 2, Pick 22 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
A tight end of that caliber at slot 74 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in pick 97 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the 110th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor slipping to the 113th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick138 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at pick 138 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at slot 139 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Somehow Luke Kandra was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 8, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in No. 152 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
They barely believed it either: Domani Jackson still on the board at the 162nd pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in pick No. 187 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the tight end. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
