Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers won the night they stopped Murphy from sliding. Grade: B.

Somebody in Round 7, Pick 20 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Panthers sat still while Grayson Murphy, the No. 177 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Laiatu Latu
The board fumbled Laiatu Latu all the way to the 33rd overall pick, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick39 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
They did well to land Troy Franklin in pick No. 39, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They robbed the room for Ja'Tavion Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick101 Rnd4 DJ James
They will replay DJ James at Round 4, Pick 1 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick142 Rnd5 James Williams
Circle this one: James Williams at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Beau Brade in the 166th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at No. 240 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
