Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Panthers.

The Panthers put a flag in the ground for Zane Durant, 62 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Revel Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer in pick No. 6 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at the 38th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyler Warren in pick 68, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104 Rnd4 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at No. 104 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. at Round 5, Pick 5 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick147 Rnd5 Aubrey Burks
No edge and no loss on Aubrey Burks in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183 Rnd6 J.C. Davis
The board had cheaper options than J.C. Davis at the 183rd pick, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick221 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Value said wait; Cody Simon in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at No. 226 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
