Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Panthers: B-.

The Panthers bet big and early on Anthony Lucas, 39 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

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

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a green-dot type in the middle, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Anthony Lucas
Anthony Lucas at slot 51 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Trinidad Chambliss
Value said wait; Trinidad Chambliss in pick No. 83 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Jalon Kilgore worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
They took Aamil Wagner at par in the 156th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol in No. 157 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 Trebor Pena
Trebor Pena in No. 198 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kamran James
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kamran James in pick 235, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
