Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Allar headlines a C weekend for the Panthers.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jay Higgins at the 220th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C.

Every board in the league had Allar lower, and that gap is the story. Everything downstream of Drew Allar depends on Drew Allar, and the building knows it.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Hit on Drew Allar and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drew Allar
In pick No. 4 they get the face of the franchise, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 50th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tez Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at slot 108 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in No. 139 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick143 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at pick 143 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Zane Durant
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zane Durant this early at the 155th overall pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Taking Jay Higgins in pick No. 220 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
A clean, defensible pick in the 229th pick with a little surplus value in Jaylen Reed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
