Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD- FutureA+
The Panthers let Bernard fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Germie Bernard sat on the board until pick No. 105, and the Panthers did not need to be asked twice. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Zuhn III to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a rangy last line of defense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 CJ Allen
By-the-book stuff, CJ Allen at pick No. 39 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 70 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105 Rnd4 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard at pick 105 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111 Rnd4 Caleb Tiernan
Value with a capital V on Caleb Tiernan in the 111th pick, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick143 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick153 Rnd5 Ty Simpson
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Ty Simpson in slot 153, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in the 193rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
They did well to land Robert Spears-Jennings in the Round 7 slot, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
