Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Panthers spent real capital to be 28 picks early on Beaux Limmer, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Landing All that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in No. 52 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
They liked Jonah Elliss enough to skip the value, taking him in the 80th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 Beaux Limmer
They reached a country mile for Beaux Limmer at pick No. 99, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A tidy little value on Khyree Jackson in the 101st overall pick, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Audric Estime
The board had Audric Estime higher than slot 114, and the running back fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick214 Rnd6 Erick All
They read the board right and Erick All was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
