Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Ramsey should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Panthers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

Landing Ramsey that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The McClellan pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In No. 27 they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Nice patience on Caleb Banks, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 19. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick83 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields is a better player than slot 83 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kamari Ramsey in pick 92, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120 Rnd4 Will Lee III
Will Lee III at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Chris McClellan at interior defensive lineman with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick156 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
Nate Boerkircher at pick No. 156 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick157 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher at Round 5, Pick 19 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick198 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
They paid sticker price for Pat Coogan in slot 198, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
A tidy little value on Fa'alili Fa'amoe in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
