Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Panthers.

The Panthers did not so much draft Power Echols as overpay for him, 36 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Gillotte pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick 4 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at No. 38 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick66 Rnd3 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Ashton Gillotte
They will replay Ashton Gillotte at the 102nd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in Round 5, Pick 4 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jayden Higgins
They barely believed it either: Jayden Higgins still on the board at slot 146. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in Round 6, Pick 3 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
A clean, defensible pick in the 216th pick with a little surplus value in Alfred Collins. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick234 Rnd7 Power Echols
Power Echols in slot 234 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
