Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Carter should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a B-.

The Panthers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Barrett Carter fell into the 140th overall pick. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Ingram-Dawkins has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at Round 2, Pick 25 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
Steal is underselling it; Marcus Mbow at slot 74 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jaylin Lane
Jaylin Lane in pick 111 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at the 114th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the 140th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
A real head-scratcher, Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins in No. 146 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Value with a capital V on Logan Brown in pick No. 163, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dante Trader Jr.. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
