Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureA
The Panthers won the night they stopped Henderson from sliding. Grade: B+.

The Panthers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: TreVeyon Henderson, the No. 60 name on the board, in the 139th pick.

They are betting Parrish proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Danielle Hunter pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick No. 25 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in the 57th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 58th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in Round 3, Pick 10, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
They will replay Danny Stutsman at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in pick 112, and they pounced on premier safety value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach slot 139 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick145 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
They robbed the room for Chris Paul Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick162 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
A conviction pick on Nazir Stackhouse at pick No. 162 that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at slot 165 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
