Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Panthers took Que Robinson at slot 147, roughly 104 spots before his name belonged.

They banked enough surplus on Mafah to cover a lot of smaller sins. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In slot 8 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker slid further than he should have, and the 33rd overall pick is lovely value for the linebacker. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach Round 4, Pick 9 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in the 113th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick141 Rnd5 Ahmed Hassanein
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ahmed Hassanein. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 Que Robinson
Value said wait; Que Robinson in pick 147 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick164 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at slot 164 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Steal is underselling it; Phil Mafah at pick No. 229 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
