Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Panthers: B-.

The Panthers torched the value chart for Cade Klubnik, taking him 35 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 19th overall pick they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Cade Klubnik
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cade Klubnik in pick 51, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
They reached a country mile for Kenyatta Jackson Jr. at the 83rd pick, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in Round 4, Pick 19 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
No edge and no loss on Max Iheanachor in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at No. 158 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They jumped the gun on Trey Zuhn III, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235 Rnd7 Malik Hartford
Somehow Malik Hartford was still sitting there in pick 235, and they pounced on premier safety value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
