Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureA+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B+ for the Panthers.

The Panthers put a flag in the ground for Kevin Jennings, 52 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Tuli Tuipulotu deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In slot 22 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick 57 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Darien Porter
No drama and no debate, Darien Porter went about where he belonged in the 74th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 David Walker
David Walker at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at No. 140 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in Round 5, Pick 8 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick163 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Good price on Bhayshul Tuten in Round 5, Pick 25, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick230 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
Kevin Jennings at No. 230 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
