Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureA
A solid, sensible weekend for the Panthers: B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Oluwafemi Oladejo in the 114th pick, a good 27 spots before the room expected him.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. Landing Knight Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

The Azeez Al-Shaair pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
A wild overpay on Kyle Kennard in No. 57, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in pick No. 58 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They let Demetrius Knight Jr. come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 10. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 David Walker
A premium they did not need to pay, David Walker a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jaylin Lane
They jumped the gun on Jaylin Lane, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They reached a country mile for Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick 114, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at No. 140 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at Round 5, Pick 8 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Elijah Roberts. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
A reach for Jabbar Muhammad in the 230th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick257 Rnd7 Logan Parr
Logan Parr in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
