Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Panthers put a flag in the ground for Trey Moore, 60 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Lemon pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In pick 19 they get a difference-maker at receiver, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 LT Overton
LT Overton in slot 51 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Value said wait; Julian Neal in No. 83 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
Malachi Lawrence in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick156 Rnd5 Trey Moore
Trey Moore at Round 5, Pick 18 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick157 Rnd5 Albert Regis
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Albert Regis. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick198 Rnd6 Keyshaun Elliott
The board had cheaper options than Keyshaun Elliott at slot 198, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tyler Onyedim
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Onyedim well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
