Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers bet the future on Sanders. The board says B.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Panthers committed. Shedeur Sanders is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

However the rest shakes out, Lawson at that price is a win they earned. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Tuimoloau has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In pick 5 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A reach on JT Tuimoloau in slot 52; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They took Deone Walker at par in Round 3, Pick 3, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick108 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 108 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick112 Rnd4 Evan Stewart
They let Evan Stewart come to them and pounced at No. 112. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
They will replay Sebastian Castro at the 143rd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 158th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Logan Jones
Somehow Logan Jones was still sitting there in pick No. 220, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
They robbed the room for Miles Frazier here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
