Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 16: the Panthers steal Simon and grade out a B.

The Panthers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cody Simon fell into Round 7, Pick 16.

The McCord pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 7 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No drama and no debate, Tyler Booker went about where he belonged in pick No. 38. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick52 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in Round 2, Pick 20 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick67 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A tidy bit of business in the 67th pick, where Dylan Fairchild graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jack Bech
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jack Bech in pick 108. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kaleb Johnson
They barely believed it either: Kaleb Johnson still on the board at No. 112. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick138 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Mason Taylor in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in the 143rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick158 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Taking Barrett Carter in slot 158 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204 Rnd6 Rod Moore
They robbed the room for Rod Moore here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in the 220th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at Round 7, Pick 16 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
