Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers cashed the board's mistake on Rosemy-Jacksaint: B.

The board owed the Panthers one, and it paid up: Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, the No. 195 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 20 like a gift left on the doorstep. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They paid sticker price for Adonai Mitchell in the 33rd pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at slot 39 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson is a better player than pick No. 65 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd4 Blake Corum
Nice patience on Blake Corum, who had no business lasting to pick 101. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick142 Rnd5 Blake Fisher
They robbed the room for Blake Fisher here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166 Rnd5 AJ Barner
No drama and no debate, AJ Barner went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
You do not let a wide receiver like Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint reach Round 7, Pick 20 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
