Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Panthers took Josh Williams a full 55 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Coleman falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at slot 33 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at Round 3, Pick 1 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in pick No. 101 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at the 168th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi at No. 180 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Josh Williams
A big swing on Josh Williams at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
