Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Panthers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Panthers went off the board in a big way for Khordae Sydnor, 244 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

However the rest shakes out, Henderson at that price is a win they earned. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at Round 2, Pick 12. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach the 57th overall pick and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at the 74th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in pick 109 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Demetrius Knight Jr. in No. 112, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at the 139th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in pick No. 145 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
The board fumbled TreVeyon Henderson all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 186 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 Khordae Sydnor
They reached a country mile for Khordae Sydnor at the 227th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
