Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Panthers.

The Panthers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 234 on Zane Durant a full 54 spots early.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in No. 38 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick66 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
No edge and no loss on Nicholas Singleton in pick 66; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Warren. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in the 142nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the 146th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178 Rnd6 Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts in pick No. 178 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
Fair-plus on Elijhah Badger, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Zane Durant
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zane Durant. A minor itch, scratched.
