Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
A franchise passer in Sanders headlines a D+ weekend for the Panthers.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Panthers took Power Echols a full 37 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. Dart falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and safety is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 5th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick7 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson in pick 39 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick50 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A straight-up fair deal on TreVeyon Henderson at No. 50, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Danny Stutsman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd4 Nazir Stackhouse
By-the-book stuff, Nazir Stackhouse at slot 97 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick98 Rnd4 Jaxson Dart
They robbed the room for Jaxson Dart here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick129 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
A big swing on Jonah Monheim at pick 129, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
They did well to land Jaeden Roberts in slot 132, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Rylie Mills
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Rylie Mills in No. 156, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick161 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
They liked Kyren Lacy enough to skip the value, taking him in the 161st pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220 Rnd7 Power Echols
Power Echols in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
