Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureA+
Hard to poke a hole in the Panthers' weekend: A-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Panthers did exactly that with Shilo Sanders in No. 230. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

They banked enough surplus on Felton to cover a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

The Panthers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Bottom line, with Josaiah Stewart leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in pick 57 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins slipping to slot 73 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick74 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at No. 74 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the 111th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Somehow Jaylin Noel was still sitting there in pick No. 114, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in Round 5, Pick 2 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tai Felton
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tai Felton in No. 146, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
You do not let a running back like Brashard Smith reach the 163rd overall pick and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186 Rnd6 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at Round 6, Pick 10 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at slot 230 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
