Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Panthers for Judkins: A-.

When a board-topper like Quinshon Judkins slides to the 233rd pick, you do not overthink it, and the Panthers did not. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The veteran additions, Danielle Hunter chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick44 Rnd2 Will Johnson
A quiet steal in the 44th overall pick: Will Johnson for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick47 Rnd2 Malachi Moore
Taking Malachi Moore in No. 47 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick54 Rnd2 Quinn Ewers
A quarterback of that caliber at the 54th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
They robbed the room for Isaiah Bond here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
You do not let a safety like Jahdae Barron reach pick No. 107 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick 111 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Steal is underselling it; Jay Higgins at slot 140 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at pick 147 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick222 Rnd7 Eli Stowers
The board fumbled Eli Stowers all the way to Round 7, Pick 8, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick233 Rnd7 Quinshon Judkins
They barely believed it either: Quinshon Judkins still on the board at slot 233. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick256 Rnd7 Logan Parr
They will replay Logan Parr at pick No. 256 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
