Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Panthers robbed the room for Henderson. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: TreVeyon Henderson, the No. 71 name on the board, stolen at Round 7, Pick 8. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Mertz has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 13th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
A slide stopped in pick 44, with Luther Burden III worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 47th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick71 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in slot 71, and they pounced on premier safety value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Tyler Warren in pick No. 107, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Circle this one: Deontae Lawson at Round 5, Pick 2 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
They will replay Sebastian Castro at No. 147 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
They robbed the room for Chris Paul Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 TreVeyon Henderson
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at No. 222 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick233 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They paid up for Garrett Dellinger at the Round 7 slot when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick256 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
They left a pile of value on the table to take Graham Mertz this early at Round 7, Pick 42. It fills a real need, too.
