Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C
ValueD- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers found their guy under center in Allar: C.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Panthers committed. Drew Allar is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

The Allar reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Drew Allar
In pick 1 they get the face of the franchise, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at No. 65 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick97 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in Round 4, Pick 1 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129 Rnd5 Jaleel Skinner
Jaleel Skinner in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
They went early on Eric Gentry in pick No. 161, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
