Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesA FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B to prove it.

The Jalon Walker selection is the head-turner. The Panthers reached 60 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

Getting Pearce Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick 6 they get a No. 1 receiver, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Carson Beck
Carson Beck at No. 38 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 James Pearce Jr.
James Pearce Jr. at pick No. 77 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 Josh Simmons
Circle this one: Josh Simmons at Round 4, Pick 3 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Somehow Antwaun Powell-Ryland was still sitting there in the 143rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jalon Walker
A wild overpay on Jalon Walker in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183 Rnd6 Mansoor Delane
Fair-plus on Mansoor Delane, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick221 Rnd7 Javontez Spraggins
Javontez Spraggins at the 221st pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
