Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers let Farmer fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Joshua Farmer at the 146th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Williams reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In No. 8 they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris is a better player than pick 57 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Fair-plus on Jayden Higgins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
They did well to land Jared Wilson in Round 4, Pick 9, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Darius Alexander reach the 114th pick and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick140 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Value with a capital V on Brashard Smith in slot 140, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick146 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Somehow Joshua Farmer was still sitting there in pick No. 146, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick163 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in Round 7, Pick 14 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
