Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers won the night they stopped Lawson from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Panthers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Deontae Lawson, the No. 82 name on the board, in the 144th pick. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Lampkin reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 6 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at pick 54 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They reached into another round for Jake Majors, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109 Rnd4 Willie Lampkin
They talked themselves into Willie Lampkin at No. 109, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick114 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Rylie Mills. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick141 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the 141st overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Steal is underselling it; Deontae Lawson at slot 144 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in Round 5, Pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick227 Rnd7 Aydan White
This one needs a full-page explanation: Aydan White in No. 227, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
