Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureD+
Larceny in the 163rd pick lands the Panthers a C+, McCord and all.

Call it larceny. Kyle McCord sat on the board until No. 163, and the Panthers did not need to be asked twice.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Yarns has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

If Tetairoa McMillan and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 11th overall pick they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to pick No. 47, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick57 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson at pick 57 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
By-the-book stuff, Maxwell Hairston at Round 3, Pick 10 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Charles Grant
The board had Charles Grant higher than the 111th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Circle this one: Jaylin Noel at slot 114 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in No. 138 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick140 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick146 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales at the 146th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at pick No. 163 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns at pick 230 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
