Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
The Panthers turned the phones into found money: B.

Whoever sat across the table from the Panthers should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They are betting Perkins Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In pick No. 19 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Value with a capital V on Treydan Stukes in slot 83, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
They liked Harold Perkins Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 119. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158 Rnd5 Kage Casey
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kage Casey. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
Good price on Zxavian Harris in the 159th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick200 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
Nice patience on Josh Cameron, who had no business lasting to the 200th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
