Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Panthers a B.

The Barryn Sorrell pick is the one that will follow the Panthers into the fall. They took him 121 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Getting Taaffe where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 12 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value.
Pick44 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Value with a capital V on Harold Fannin Jr. in slot 44, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick54 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 54th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick74 Rnd3 Tory Horton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tory Horton well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 96th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 139 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick162 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
They reached a country mile for Barryn Sorrell at the 162nd overall pick, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187 Rnd6 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in slot 227 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
