Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA+
Quarterback settled, Dart in the fold, and a B for the Panthers.

Nobody else had Jordan Watkins anywhere near Round 7, Pick 14. The Panthers did, by 69 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They have staked the next five years on Jaxson Dart, which is the only story that really matters here. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

Getting Higgins where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In the 27th pick they get a passer to set the clock by, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In slot 29 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tre Harris
A premium they did not need to pay, Tre Harris a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at Round 4, Pick 12 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick146 Rnd5 Que Robinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Que Robinson this early at No. 146. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They read the board right and Jay Higgins was the payoff at slot 210. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jordan Watkins
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Watkins in the 230th pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick257 Rnd7 Henry Parrish Jr.
Henry Parrish Jr. in the 257th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
