Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Panthers a B-.

The war room fell hard for Will Howard, and it showed at Round 2, Pick 20: 200 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

They banked enough surplus on Egbuka to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The back end got a real overhaul.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick 5 they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Will Howard
They talked themselves into Will Howard at Round 2, Pick 20, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67 Rnd3 Emeka Egbuka
They barely believed it either: Emeka Egbuka still on the board at No. 67. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
A wild overpay on Cobee Bryant in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the 112th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Shilo Sanders
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shilo Sanders this early at pick No. 139. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 143 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick158 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
They reached into another round for Phillip Webb, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
No edge and no loss on Donovan Edwards in No. 230; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
