Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Panthers a B-.

The Panthers did not so much draft Anthony Lucas as overpay for him, 37 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Kite.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In slot 19 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Anthony Lucas
A real head-scratcher, Anthony Lucas in the 51st pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83 Rnd3 Chandler Rivers
Chandler Rivers in pick No. 83 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Red Murdock
The board had cheaper options than Red Murdock at Round 5, Pick 18, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick157 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Gracen Halton well ahead of where he belonged. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick198 Rnd6 Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite at Round 6, Pick 19 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kamran James
Kamran James at pick 235 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
