Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Panthers for Polk: B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Panthers watched Ja'Lynn Polk slide 95 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Marvin Harrison Jr.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Marvin Harrison Jr. in No. 33, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 Malik Nabers
Steal is underselling it; Malik Nabers at slot 65 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Christian Haynes
They robbed the room for Christian Haynes here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in Round 5, Pick 5 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165 Rnd5 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in pick No. 165 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in the 180th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
