Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesD+ FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Panthers and Klubnik: B.

Call it larceny. Cade Klubnik sat on the board until No. 143, and the Panthers did not need to be asked twice. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jordan Hancock
A tidy bit of business in No. 38, where Jordan Hancock graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick104 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb in pick No. 104 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Cade Klubnik
They barely believed it either: Cade Klubnik still on the board at the 143rd pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Maxwell Hairston
You do not let a cornerback like Maxwell Hairston reach pick 147 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Quinn Carroll
Quinn Carroll in the 183rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick221 Rnd7 Deion Burks
Deion Burks in slot 221 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick226 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss at No. 226 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
