Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Panthers reached some 59 spots for Haynes King, and value like that does not grow back.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick 19 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in the 51st pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick83 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Treydan Stukes at the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick120 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
Genesis Smith slipping to slot 120 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick158 Rnd5 Kage Casey
A straight-up fair deal on Kage Casey at pick No. 158, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels is a better player than No. 159 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick200 Rnd6 Anez Cooper
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Anez Cooper for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Fa'alili Fa'amoe. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick255 Rnd7 Haynes King
A big swing on Haynes King at slot 255, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
