Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Panthers for Sanders: B-.

The Panthers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Raheim Sanders, the No. 132 name on the board, in the Round 7 slot. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Williams reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 8th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in pick No. 39 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick45 Rnd2 Will Johnson
Will Johnson slid further than he should have, and No. 45 is lovely value for the cornerback. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at Round 3, Pick 1 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe is a better player than pick 70 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102 Rnd4 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at the 102nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Circle this one: Danny Stutsman at slot 143 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick159 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Donovan Jackson a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Gentry Williams
Gentry Williams at pick No. 217 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
The board fumbled Raheim Sanders all the way to the 231st pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
