Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Panthers a B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Anthony Lucas; the Panthers did not wait, grabbing him 39 spots ahead at Round 2, Pick 19.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Landing Lew that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In slot 31 they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Anthony Lucas
They left a pile of value on the table to take Anthony Lucas this early at the 51st overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick63 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
No drama and no debate, Eli Stowers went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Trinidad Chambliss
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trinidad Chambliss well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Somehow Connor Lew was still sitting there in pick 95, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
A conviction pick on DeMonte Capehart at the 119th pick that the board grades a round light. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick125 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nadame Tucker in No. 125, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick156 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at pick No. 156 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157 Rnd5 Lander Barton
They paid up for Lander Barton at slot 157 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Zuhn III at Round 6, Pick 19, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jalil Farooq
They reached into another round for Jalil Farooq, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Rueben Owens II
Rueben Owens II at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
