Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Panthers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Nobody had Shilo Sanders this high, and it is not close. The Panthers reached 57 spots to get him at Round 7, Pick 14.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. The Walker pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 8th overall pick they get a three-down runner at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach pick 43 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals slipping to No. 74 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at Round 3, Pick 19 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick140 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Antwaun Powell-Ryland well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ty Robinson. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A conviction pick on Kyle Williams at the 163rd pick that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at pick 230 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
