Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
The Panthers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Panthers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Mukuba pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle. Need was not the driver here.
Pick31 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 31st pick they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Nothing to complain about; Jack Bech went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A quiet steal in pick 97: Andrew Mukuba for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in Round 4, Pick 9 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at slot 114 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
A premium they did not need to pay, Andres Borregales a notch or two before his time. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick152 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
By-the-book stuff, Trevor Etienne at pick No. 152 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 178 with a little surplus value in Seth McLaughlin. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They took Carson Vinson at par in Round 7, Pick 14, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick256 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Value with a capital V on Isaac TeSlaa in the 256th pick, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
