Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Panthers let Allar fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Drew Allar slide, and the Panthers were the ones holding the card at Round 5, Pick 5. Highway robbery. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Kennard has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, with Will Johnson leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick No. 45 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
The board had cheaper options than Kyle Kennard at Round 3, Pick 1, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Nothing to complain about; Deontae Lawson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102 Rnd4 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at pick 102 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
You do not let an offensive lineman like Trey Zuhn III reach the 139th overall pick and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Somehow Drew Allar was still sitting there in No. 143, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the 159th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
A straight-up fair deal on Kyren Lacy at the 217th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231 Rnd7 Damien Martinez
No drama and no debate, Damien Martinez went about where he belonged in the 231st pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
