Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Panthers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tre Harris, No. 222, roughly 40 picks past where he belonged. Call it a C- and check back in two years.

If Dart pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
Good price on Taliese Fuaga in the 36th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick37 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101 Rnd4 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at the 101st pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Value said wait; Jaylin Simpson in pick 138 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at No. 149 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at slot 173 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Curtis Jacobs. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tre Harris
The board fumbled Tre Harris all the way to Round 7, Pick 2, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
A big swing on Demani Richardson at the 245th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
