Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureD-
The Panthers did enough to get by: C.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Panthers would have aced it. Barryn Sorrell at No. 164 is 132 spots clear of where he belonged. It nets out a thoroughly average C.

The Knight Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

If Tyler Booker and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in Round 1, Pick 32; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at No. 48 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tre Harris
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Tre Harris graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A safety of that caliber at slot 74 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick81 Rnd3 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker at the 81st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick 110 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
They paid a round early for Shemar Turner in the 113th pick, more than the board wanted. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick129 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in pick 129 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141 Rnd5 Elijah Arroyo
They will replay Elijah Arroyo at Round 5, Pick 2 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They talked themselves into Cobee Bryant at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Barryn Sorrell. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in pick No. 195 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick199 Rnd6 Addison West
They took Addison West at par in No. 199, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at the 229th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
