Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC-
The Panthers robbed the room for Riley. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Panthers one, and it paid up: Quincy Riley, the No. 171 name on the board, sitting there at No. 216 like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

If Sanders pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 12th pick they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 16th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
The board had Jalen Milroe higher than Round 4, Pick 9, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in pick No. 114 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick140 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in slot 140 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen McLeod in pick 146, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They talked themselves into KeAndre Lambert-Smith at No. 163, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in slot 188 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at the 216th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders in No. 227 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick254 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A reasonable price with a little left over, Torricelli Simpkins III in pick 254. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
