1. TE Jordan Matthews: 87.4
2. LG Chandler Zavala: 84.0
3. RT Ricky Lee: 65.0
4. RB Jaden Shirden: 62.0
5. RB Mike Boone: 59.3

Chandler Zavala led all his fellow Panthers linemen with a 81.6 run-blocking grade and a 78.1 pass-blocking grade. The second-year hog molly also played in every one of the unit’s 54 snaps.

Probably the most surprising performance.  That dude was dog poo last year.

Worst of the defense

24. DT Ulumoo Ale: 51.4
25. CB Chau Smith-Wade: 43.8
26. DT T.J. Smith: 42.1
27. DE Junior Aho: 40.0
28. CB Willie Drew: 24.7

UDFA Willie Drew wasn’t as sharp, as he was on the bitter end of the 38-yard touchdown connection between Patriots quarterback Joe Milton III and wideout JaQuae Jackson. That helped him take a 26.0 mark in coverage

Best of the defense

1. OLB Eku Leota: 90.1
2. OLB Luiji Vilain: 89.9
3. ILB Claudin Cherelus: 84.5
4. CB Lamar Jackson: 78.3
5. ILB Jackson Mitchell: 78.0

Leota and Vilain both chalked up a team-leading four pressures. The former also recorded two stops.

Lamar Jackson earned an 86.8 grade in coverage. He allowed one reception (13 yards) over three targets.

He got completely left in the dust but that route was sick for only a few minutes left in the 4th of a preseason game.

    • If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for. 
    • The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
