Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureD
The Panthers turned the phones into found money: C+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Panthers started one anyway for Maliq Carr, 251 picks ahead of schedule.

They banked enough surplus on Greene III to cover a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 8 they get a wrecking ball inside. More want than need.
Pick57 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at No. 57 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
A big swing on Denzel Burke at Round 3, Pick 10, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Tyler Baron
They paid sticker price for Tyler Baron in the 75th overall pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 David Walker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, David Walker well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Wilson. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
They talked themselves into Oronde Gadsden II at the 112th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick113 Rnd4 Maliq Carr
They left a pile of value on the table to take Maliq Carr this early at the Round 4 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in the 138th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at pick 139 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Tez Johnson at No. 141 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kyren Lacy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164 Rnd5 Shilo Sanders
A real head-scratcher, Shilo Sanders in slot 164 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jahvaree Ritzie
They reached into another round for Jahvaree Ritzie, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
Value said wait; Tyler Batty in Round 5, Pick 32 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172 Rnd5 Connor Colby
A straight-up fair deal on Connor Colby at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno in the 174th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kevin Jennings
Kevin Jennings at No. 175 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Andres Borregales
The board fumbled Andres Borregales all the way to the 179th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick189 Rnd6 Stone Handy
Stone Handy at pick 189 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jay Toia
They reached a country mile for Jay Toia at slot 190, and the board is aghast. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jasheen Davis
A wild overpay on Jasheen Davis in pick No. 206, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
They barely believed it either: Ollie Gordon II still on the board at the 208th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Quinton Cooley
Quinton Cooley in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Seth McGowan
Seth McGowan at No. 216 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
You do not let an offensive lineman like Earnest Greene III reach the 217th pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kain Medrano
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kain Medrano in slot 228, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
They went early on Marcus Yarns in Round 7, Pick 11, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester at pick 232 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 249, where Jake Briningstool graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II at pick No. 255 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick256 Rnd7 Chico Bennett Jr.
A big swing on Chico Bennett Jr. at Round 7, Pick 38, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick257 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
They talked themselves into Bilhal Kone at the 257th overall pick, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
