Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Panthers: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Panthers took Ahmed Hassanein at the 147th pick, roughly 77 spots before his name belonged.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Alexander pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in Round 2, Pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at the 74th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
No drama and no debate, Smael Mondon Jr. went about where he belonged in slot 110. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod at pick No. 113 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick141 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Nice patience on Darius Alexander, who had no business lasting to pick 141. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ahmed Hassanein
They reached into another round for Ahmed Hassanein, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Fair-plus on Ty Robinson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick229 Rnd7 Dayon Hayes
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dayon Hayes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
