Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A
ValueA NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
The Panthers let Harris fall and pounced. Final grade: A.

You could see the war room lean forward. Tre Harris at No. 241 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. The veteran additions, Mike Evans chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In slot 8 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cam Ward
A quarterback of that caliber at No. 58 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
They barely believed it either: Ashton Jeanty still on the board at the 74th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at pick 110 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick112 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
The board fumbled Wyatt Milum all the way to pick No. 112, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick145 Rnd5 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the 145th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
They robbed the room for Jahdae Barron here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in Round 7, Pick 11 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick241 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the 241st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
