Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A
ValueA+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Panthers let Judkins fall and pounced. Final grade: A.

The Panthers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Quinshon Judkins fell into pick 97. They executed a plan and it shows in the A.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Travis Hunter and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 28th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick65 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Walter Nolen in pick 65, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick97 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129 Rnd5 Cameron Ward
They barely believed it either: Cameron Ward still on the board at pick No. 129. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Circle this one: Jonah Monheim at No. 161 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
