Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB+
The Panthers bled value on every deal, hence the D.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Panthers took Que Robinson at slot 150, roughly 104 spots before his name belonged. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. However the rest shakes out, Ransom at that price is a win they earned.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 8th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in slot 46, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zy Alexander at pick 74. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They paid up for Charles Grant at the Round 3 slot when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at Round 4, Pick 12 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Hollin Pierce in pick No. 141, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick147 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150 Rnd5 Que Robinson
They talked themselves into Que Robinson at pick 150, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at the 161st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in No. 164 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 213, where Jordan Hancock graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick229 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at slot 229 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
