Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureA+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Panthers: B+.

The Panthers spent real capital to be 64 picks early on Shilo Sanders, and the board is going to hold them to it. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Alexander.

The Maliek Collins pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Jalon Walker graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at pick 57 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at pick No. 74 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Charles Grant. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at slot 104 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Nice patience on Jared Wilson, who had no business lasting to No. 114. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 140 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick146 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
They robbed the room for Darius Alexander here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick163 Rnd5 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A real head-scratcher, KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick No. 163 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Value with a capital V on Cobee Bryant in the 191st overall pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed is a better player than Round 6, Pick 21 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick208 Rnd6 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders in pick 208 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick230 Rnd7 John Williams
They jumped the gun on John Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
