Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 163: the Panthers steal Leonard and grade out a B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Riley Leonard, the Round 5 slot, roughly 62 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. They will need Burnip to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 25th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Nothing to complain about; Trey Amos went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They robbed the room for Alfred Collins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick100 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger is a better player than slot 100 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at Round 4, Pick 9 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jake Majors
The board had Jake Majors higher than the 113th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick114 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in pick No. 114 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140 Rnd5 James Burnip
They paid a round early for James Burnip in pick 140, more than the board wanted. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick146 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
No edge and no loss on Andres Borregales in pick 146; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
The board fumbled Riley Leonard all the way to pick No. 163, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick175 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
You do not let a running back like Raheim Sanders reach slot 175 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
