Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA- FutureA+
Hard to poke a hole in the Panthers' weekend: A-.

The Panthers clearly saw something nobody else did in Jordan Strachan, taking him 92 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

The McClellan pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
A tidy bit of business in the 33rd pick, where Kool-Aid McKinstry graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick39 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They read the board right and Brian Thomas Jr. was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They robbed the room for Xavier Legette here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Calen Bullock
Steal is underselling it; Calen Bullock at the 101st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick143 Rnd5 Blake Fisher
They barely believed it either: Blake Fisher still on the board at No. 143. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Somehow Dallin Holker was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 35, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick227 Rnd7 Curtis Jacobs
You do not let a linebacker like Curtis Jacobs reach the 227th pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in pick No. 240 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jordan Strachan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Strachan this early at pick 253. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
Tayvion Robinson in Round 7, Pick 36 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
