Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
The Panthers left with their quarterback, and a D to match.

Some picks age like wine; Jaheim Bell at Round 4, Pick 1 will need to, sitting 39 spots clear of his grade. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. However the rest shakes out, Allen at that price is a win they earned.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In slot 1 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
They took Adonai Mitchell at par in the 32nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter in Round 2, Pick 1 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 64. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick65 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chris Braswell in No. 65. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Josh Newton
The board had Josh Newton higher than No. 75, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in slot 101 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Khyree Jackson in pick 110. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Justin Rogers at the 169th overall pick is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick180 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the 180th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at Round 7, Pick 2 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
