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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Tanor Bortolini; the Panthers did not wait, grabbing him 45 spots ahead at the 142nd overall pick.

That Williams pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at pick No. 33 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at Round 2, Pick 7 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover in slot 66 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick101 Rnd4 Blake Corum
A slide stopped in the 101st pick, with Blake Corum worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in pick 142 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Evan Williams
The board fumbled Evan Williams all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
