Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesB+ FutureA
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B.

There is reaching, and then there is Da'Shawn Womack at pick No. 80. The Panthers jumped the board by 223 and dared it to prove them wrong. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Maiava. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
Quincy Rhodes Jr. in slot 49 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick51 Rnd2 Joshua Josephs
The board had Joshua Josephs higher than Round 2, Pick 19, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Da'Shawn Womack
A wild overpay on Da'Shawn Womack in the 80th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 Makai Lemon
They barely believed it either: Makai Lemon still on the board at the 117th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155 Rnd5 Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Trey Moore
A big swing on Trey Moore at pick 167, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196 Rnd6 Keaten Wade
They reached into another round for Keaten Wade, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kyle Louis
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Kyle Louis in Round 6, Pick 21, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick213 Rnd6 Tao Johnson
Tao Johnson in slot 213 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jayden Maiava
Taking Jayden Maiava in No. 230 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
