Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesC+ FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B.

The Panthers clearly saw something nobody else did in Hayden Conner, taking him 37 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Walker. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 8th overall pick they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at pick No. 48 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They paid sticker price for Jayden Higgins in pick 57, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Emery Jones Jr. a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick140 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They talked themselves into Antwaun Powell-Ryland at Round 5, Pick 2, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
A slide stopped in the 146th pick, with Mello Dotson worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Ty Robinson at Round 5, Pick 25 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick230 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
