Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Panthers for Mensah: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Darian Mensah tumbling to the Panthers in slot 195 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey at the 49th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick81 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
They paid sticker price for Brian Parker II in No. 81, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in D'Angelo Ponds. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse in pick No. 153 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick157 Rnd5 Logan Jones
Logan Jones in slot 157 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Darian Mensah
They barely believed it either: Darian Mensah still on the board at pick 195. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Zuhn III. The roster fit checks out.
