Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
B+
ValueA+
NeedB+
TradesB
FutureB
The Panthers let Sanders fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+. The rest of the league will want that one back. T.J. Sanders tumbling to the Panthers in the Round 7 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Travis Hunter in pick No. 14. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jahdae Barron
The board fumbled Jahdae Barron all the way to the 45th overall pick, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57
Rnd2
Shemar Stewart
Somehow Shemar Stewart was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 25, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110
Rnd4
Armand Membou
Taking Armand Membou in the 110th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115
Rnd4
Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach pick 115 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick141
Rnd5
Wyatt Milum
Circle this one: Wyatt Milum at No. 141 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147
Rnd5
Jihaad Campbell
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jihaad Campbell in slot 147, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jaylin Noel
They will replay Jaylin Noel at pick 164 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229
Rnd7
T.J. Sanders
They robbed the room for T.J. Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick233
Rnd7
Tre Harris
Steal is underselling it; Tre Harris at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick234
Rnd7
Devin Neal
They barely believed it either: Devin Neal still on the board at slot 234. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235
Rnd7
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at No. 235 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick242
Rnd7
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 242nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243
Rnd7
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in the 243rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
