Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Panthers drew a line under the quarterback search with Ward: D+.

The tape said wait; the Panthers did not. Shemar Turner went at No. 139, a good 70 picks before the board was ready.

Getting Perkins Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The whole projection now runs through Cam Ward; hit there and everything else looks smarter.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick13 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 13 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. More want than need.
Pick45 Rnd2 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter in the 45th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. at No. 47 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
They robbed the room for Jahdae Barron here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick107 Rnd4 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in slot 107 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at pick 113 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at pick No. 139 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
A safety of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick160 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
They will replay Quinshon Judkins at the 160th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Circle this one: Lander Barton at the 223rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick231 Rnd7 Harold Perkins Jr.
The board fumbled Harold Perkins Jr. all the way to No. 231, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
