The 2026 NFL Draft is officially in the books, and the Carolina Panthers came away with a highly talked-about 7-man class. In this episode, we go deep into the tape and the spreadsheets to break down every single selection from Round 1 to Round 7.

• Scheme Fit & Role: How do they translate into Dave Canales’ offensive system and Ejiro Evero’s defensive schemes?
• Draft Strategy: Did Dan Morgan execute a value masterclass, or did he reach on traits? We break down the flurry of mid-round trades.
• The Timeline: Does this class signal a team pushing for immediate relevance, or a methodical rebuild?
