Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers won the night they stopped Judkins from sliding. Grade: B.

The board owed the Panthers one, and it paid up: Quinshon Judkins, the No. 83 name on the board, sitting there at the 230th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

The Colby pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 5 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at pick 48 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in the 70th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Circle this one: Donovan Ezeiruaku at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Alfred Collins
The board had Alfred Collins higher than pick No. 114, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick140 Rnd5 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at Round 5, Pick 2 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 145 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
A linebacker of that caliber at the 159th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jonah Monheim in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in No. 230 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
