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

Somebody in No. 180 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Panthers sat still while Andru Phillips, the No. 115 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Puka Nacua gives the group a proven body among the projects.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jared Verse
Jared Verse at No. 33 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at Round 4, Pick 2 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Steal is underselling it; Javon Foster at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe is a better player than the 165th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in pick 180 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
