Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Panthers turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Panthers put a flag in the ground for Davison Igbinosun, 77 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Landing Lawson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 7 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
They jumped the gun on Bradyn Swinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at pick No. 67 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tyleik Williams
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 108th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Deontae Lawson in slot 139, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in Round 5, Pick 5 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick158 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
They paid up for Eli Stowers at the 158th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at pick No. 230 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
