Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Panthers turned the phones into found money: B+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jordan Burch; the Panthers did not wait, grabbing him 36 spots ahead at pick 74. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Sabb steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Stefon Diggs gives the group a proven body among the projects.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a bell-cow for the offense at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at Round 3, Pick 10 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Value with a capital V on Jake Majors in the 110th overall pick, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at pick No. 113 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139 Rnd5 Keon Sabb
They will replay Keon Sabb at slot 139 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II slid further than he should have, and the 145th pick is lovely value for the tight end. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at Round 5, Pick 25 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
They did well to land Jaylen Reed in the Round 7 slot, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
