Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Mondon Jr. should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 37 name on the board, stolen at slot 106. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The cost of the Hairston reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 5 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Princely Umanmielen
Princely Umanmielen in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jack Sawyer
They barely believed it either: Jack Sawyer still on the board at the 70th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 106th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 114 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick140 Rnd5 Maxwell Hairston
They left a pile of value on the table to take Maxwell Hairston this early at slot 140. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145 Rnd5 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at No. 145 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick159 Rnd5 Riley Mahlman
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 21 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in No. 221 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230 Rnd7 Barrett Carter
They robbed the room for Barrett Carter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
