Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Larceny in slot 226 lands the Panthers a B+, Hunter and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jarquez Hunter had no business being available in the 226th overall pick, and the Panthers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Wilson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 11th pick they get a three-down second-level presence, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 31 they get a rangy last line of defense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jared Wilson well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
No drama and no debate, Jaylin Noel went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
They paid a round early for Cobee Bryant in No. 111, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They robbed the room for Darius Alexander here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick146 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Good price on Mitchell Evans in Round 5, Pick 8, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter in pick 226 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
