Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall

FutureB
The Panthers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. Some picks age like wine; Phillip Webb at the 239th overall pick will need to, sitting 86 spots clear of his grade. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.
The McCord steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Mike Green
In pick 14 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at slot 44 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 58 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick74
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at Round 3, Pick 10 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in the 80th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111
Rnd4
Mitchell Evans
A real head-scratcher, Mitchell Evans in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at pick No. 114 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140
Rnd5
Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in the 140th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick146
Rnd5
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in Round 5, Pick 8 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151
Rnd5
Brashard Smith
Circle this one: Brashard Smith at No. 151 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163
Rnd5
Kyle McCord
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Kyle McCord in the 163rd overall pick, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166
Rnd5
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in pick 166 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick204
Rnd6
John Williams
John Williams at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick230
Rnd7
Hayden Conner
The board had Hayden Conner higher than slot 230, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239
Rnd7
Phillip Webb
A big swing on Phillip Webb at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241
Rnd7
Barryn Sorrell
They reached a country mile for Barryn Sorrell at No. 241, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
This one needs a full-page explanation: Shilo Sanders in Round 7, Pick 31, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
