Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 192nd pick: the Panthers steal Smith and grade out a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Isaac Smith tumbling to the Panthers in slot 192 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will need Reese to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 10 they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that.
Pick41 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
A reach on Arvell Reese in slot 41; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan at the 76th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson at No. 111 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick162 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
A reach for Earnest Greene III in pick No. 162; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick192 Rnd6 Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith at the 192nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at Round 6, Pick 29 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
They paid sticker price for Pat Coogan in the 230th pick, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
