Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Panthers: B-.

Nobody had Zane Durant this high, and it is not close. The Panthers reached 63 spots to get him at pick No. 226. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Drew Allar
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Drew Allar. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
They paid sticker price for Nicholas Singleton in slot 68, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104 Rnd4 Abdul Carter
They paid up for Abdul Carter at the 104th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in the 143rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
A tidy little value on Lathan Ransom in pick No. 147, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Tyler Baron
No drama and no debate, Tyler Baron went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221 Rnd7 Mason Taylor
A conviction pick on Mason Taylor at No. 221 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226 Rnd7 Zane Durant
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zane Durant. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
