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

The Jimmy Horn Jr. selection is the head-turner. The Panthers reached 102 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The Starks pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Adding Michael Pittman Jr. by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In slot 14 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in the 57th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74 Rnd3 David Walker
David Walker at pick No. 74 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick111 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
They paid sticker price for Zy Alexander in pick 111, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
A straight-up fair deal on Joshua Farmer at Round 4, Pick 12, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick140 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
No drama and no debate, Emery Jones Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
They took Mitchell Evans at par in the 146th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jalen Rivers
Jalen Rivers at slot 163 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
They reached into another round for Jimmy Horn Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
