Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Panthers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Seth McLaughlin in pick No. 190, a good 44 spots before the room expected him.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Brown. The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick 25 they get a disruptor off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Value with a capital V on Xavier Watts in slot 57, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at the 74th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Somehow Donovan Jackson was still sitting there in No. 110, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick113 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They read the board right and Savion Williams was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 12. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
They will replay Quinn Ewers at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick141 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in the 141st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
They went early on Earnest Greene III in slot 147, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 Connor Colby
A reach on Connor Colby in pick 164; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A wild overpay on Seth McLaughlin in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191 Rnd6 Logan Brown
You do not let an offensive lineman like Logan Brown reach pick No. 191 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers in Round 7, Pick 11 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick234 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in the 234th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
