Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Larceny in pick No. 178 lands the Panthers a B+, Martinez and all.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Panthers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Martinez falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. More want than need.
Pick32 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick 32 they get a green-dot type in the middle, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jaylin Noel
By-the-book stuff, Jaylin Noel at No. 61 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Nothing to complain about; Mason Taylor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kobe King
Fair-plus on Kobe King, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at the Round 5 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
No edge and no loss on Seth McLaughlin in No. 163; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Kyle Williams at Round 5, Pick 31, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at slot 178 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They paid sticker price for Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
