If we trade back I would love Kinlaw. If we stay at #7 and we pick Kinlaw over Brown I will be furious...but I’m just a sucker fan so it really doesn’t matter.

I have no insight into the Panthers brain trust's thoughts. However, I suspect that many "experts" are overvaluing Brown and undervaluing Kinlaw. Having said that, I think I will be a tad disappointed with either pick at #7. Of course, that is perfectly consistent to my feelings about this whole off season.

I think Kinlaw offers greater upside and flexibility than Brown and will not be a bit surprised if he were picked before Brown.

I don't see Kinlaw over the top two LTs or Brown, deffinate option in trade back situation.

Would like to see a taller CB. Size has been an issue with Jackson at times with NFC south receivers. I understand that would be a tall order in this draft though.

I'm falling in line with her thinking on Kinlaw. Think he is very much in play at 7. I like the draft, especially the first 3 rounds and the two Utah players on day 3, but wonder why she grabbed 2 NTs.

If we don't do something else to address DT, then we're pretty much going to be forced to throw mud at the wall and see what sticks in the draft just to be able to field a DL. Fotu in the 5th would be a huge steal IMO.

Kinlaw is an athletic freak who definitely needs developing, Brown was absolutely dominate throughout the season and showed a lot more on tape but didn’t put up as good combine numbers. I have no doubt Brown is a better prospect, but I wouldn’t be upset if we traded back to get extra picks and end up with Kinlaw. At #7 I would be thrilled with Brown, Okudah, or Simmons. One of the three should be available.

Honestly, I wouldn't have any major issues with it. Glad someone else can recognize that this roster is nowhere close to being able to actually put a DL on the field.

Don’t like not coming away with a WR. Don’t think Hennessy is worth 69, would rather have a WR even though we spent the off-season going after every FA WR so we could ignore the deepest and best WR class in forever. SMH.

I know we need interior OL but after skipping over this the past two better drafts it feels like we will force ourselves to take a. It as good one too early.

I don’t think Fotu will be there in the 5th either.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
