Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Panthers and Majors: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Panthers watched Jake Majors slide 54 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 8th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They barely believed it either: Jalon Walker still on the board at pick 57. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in No. 74 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Barrett Carter in the 109th overall pick, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach slot 112 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick No. 145 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at Round 5, Pick 25 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Circle this one: Seth McLaughlin at No. 227 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
