Draft Grade — Panthers

Sanders is the Panthers' new face under center. Grade: B-. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Panthers spent their marquee pick on Shedeur Sanders, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.
Stewart has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. However the rest shakes out, Parrish Jr. at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.
Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value.
Pick38
Rnd2
Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at No. 38 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66
Rnd3
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at slot 66 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at Round 4, Pick 1 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick142
Rnd5
Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison in pick 142 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146
Rnd5
Ricky White III
They reached a country mile for Ricky White III at the 146th pick, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick178
Rnd6
Dayon Hayes
Dayon Hayes in pick No. 178 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216
Rnd7
Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke slipping to the 216th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick234
Rnd7
Henry Parrish Jr.
Circle this one: Henry Parrish Jr. at slot 234 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
