Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Panthers took Trey Moore a full 60 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at the 51st overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter at Round 3, Pick 19 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Max Llewellyn
A real head-scratcher, Max Llewellyn in the 119th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick156 Rnd5 Trey Moore
Value said wait; Trey Moore in pick No. 156 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick157 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
Keagen Trost in slot 157 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
A big swing on Patrick Payton at pick 198, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick235 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
They robbed the room for Isaiah Nwokobia here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
