Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers robbed the room for Harris. Final grade: B.

The Panthers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tre Harris, the No. 26 name on the board, in the 162nd pick.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Taking Ashton Jeanty in pick 57 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malaki Starks in pick No. 74, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cam Ward
Circle this one: Cam Ward at slot 109 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jalon Walker
They robbed the room for Jalon Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
The board fumbled Walter Nolen all the way to the 139th pick, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
A cornerback of that caliber at the 145th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227 Rnd7 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
