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

The Panthers bet big and early on Kevin Jennings, 52 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. Brown falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 8 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 David Walker
A real head-scratcher, David Walker in the 63rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in the 74th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
No drama and no debate, Nohl Williams went about where he belonged in slot 111. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in pick 114 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at No. 129 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in the 133rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick140 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in No. 140 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Jonas Sanker graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Value with a capital V on Logan Brown in the 163rd pick, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick176 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They reached a country mile for Oronde Gadsden II at slot 176, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick230 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
Kevin Jennings at pick 230 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick243 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
A reach for LaJohntay Wester in Round 7, Pick 27; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
