Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Panthers for Higgins: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Panthers watched Jay Higgins slide 88 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Igbinosun reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 5th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in the 48th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They read the board right and Tyler Warren was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 6. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jared Ivey
The board fumbled Jared Ivey all the way to pick 114, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in No. 140 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 145 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A real head-scratcher, Davison Igbinosun in slot 159 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick221 Rnd7 Kevin Winston Jr.
They let Kevin Winston Jr. come to them and pounced at slot 221. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
A slide stopped in the 230th pick, with Jaylen Reed worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
