Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesD+ FutureA+
The Panthers cashed the board's mistake on Stutsman: B.

The Panthers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Danny Stutsman fell into slot 139. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

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

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerfielder for the defense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in Round 2, Pick 26 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They talked themselves into Jordan Burch at pick No. 74, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach No. 97 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jack Bech
Jack Bech in slot 109 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Omarr Norman-Lott
The board fumbled Omarr Norman-Lott all the way to the 112th pick, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 126th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at pick 139 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at the 145th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in the 162nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A conviction pick on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 5, Pick 28 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Woody Marks at pick 227 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
