Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers robbed the room for Judkins. Final grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Quinshon Judkins, the Round 7 slot, roughly 137 picks past where he belonged.

The cost of the Green reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. It is not that Corleone is a bad player; it is that the Panthers had louder needs to answer first.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Mike Green
Mike Green at the 47th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at Round 3, Pick 7 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick107 Rnd4 Dontay Corleone
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went interior defensive lineman with Dontay Corleone while clear needs at cornerback and quarterback sat open.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kamari Ramsey
The board fumbled Kamari Ramsey all the way to the 113th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
You do not let a linebacker like Deontae Lawson reach No. 139 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at slot 143 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
Taking Parker Brailsford in pick 160 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick223 Rnd7 Quinshon Judkins
They robbed the room for Quinshon Judkins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 Barrett Carter
Somehow Barrett Carter was still sitting there in the 231st pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
