Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B.

When a board-topper like Ollie Gordon II slides to Round 7, Pick 17, you do not overthink it, and the Panthers did not. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

If Overton pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ashton Gillotte. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the 71st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick107 Rnd4 LT Overton
LT Overton at the 107th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
Steal is underselling it; Colston Loveland at No. 113 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139 Rnd5 Robert Spears-Jennings
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Robert Spears-Jennings in pick 139, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
You do not let a linebacker like Deontae Lawson reach Round 5, Pick 5 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in slot 160 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Taking Jonah Monheim in pick No. 223 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
