Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Panthers: B.

There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Panthers never got to the one that mattered most. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Allar pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A clean, defensible pick in slot 51 with a little surplus value in Caleb Banks. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick83 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 19, with Malachi Fields worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Scott in No. 119. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick156 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at the 156th overall pick is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Sam Roush
Sam Roush in pick No. 157 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 Quinten Joyner
They paid sticker price for Quinten Joyner in pick 198, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman at the 235th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
