Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Panthers for Anderson: B.

The Panthers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Aaron Anderson fell into the 227th pick. The bottom line is a respectable B.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In slot 8 they get a ballhawk on the back end. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 CJ Allen
No drama and no debate, CJ Allen went about where he belonged in No. 39. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Mansoor Delane
A straight-up fair deal on Mansoor Delane at the 70th pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105 Rnd4 Blake Miller
Blake Miller in the 105th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Austin Romaine
Austin Romaine in pick 143 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153 Rnd5 Logan Jones
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Logan Jones at Round 5, Pick 14 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193 Rnd6 Ty Simpson
They robbed the room for Ty Simpson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick227 Rnd7 Aaron Anderson
The board fumbled Aaron Anderson all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
