The national media is high on general manager Dan Morgan’s latest draft class. The Carolina Panthers were given As and Bs across the board, with particular praise being lavished on Morgan’s efforts on Day 3 to secure both high upside gambles and potential starters at the back of the draft. Fans largely shared those sentiments as the draft rolled on. Some weren’t thrilled with the first two days by selections of players that weren’t at the top of most of our radars, but most picks seemed to grow on most fans are the weekend wore on.

94% of fans gave the Panthers either an A or B and no fans outright failed them.That makes sense for NFL Mock Draft Database’s best value draft in the entire league. Guys like Monroe Freeling didn’t make a lot of Panthers fans radars because he was expected to be off the board before Carolina had a shot at him. That was the case for every draft pick the Panthers made through the first five rounds.

Now that we have letter grades down, let’s get the ball rolling on projecting the hall of fame trajectories of each of these picks. How about it Panthers fans, who was the best pick in this draft and who is going to have the biggest positive impact on the Panthers’ 2026 season?
