Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Malachi Lawrence in pick 83, a good 54 spots before the room expected him.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Thieneman steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 19 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
The board had Dillon Thieneman higher than pick 51, and the safety fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick83 Rnd3 Malachi Lawrence
They talked themselves into Malachi Lawrence at the 83rd pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Vincent Anthony Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Vincent Anthony Jr. this early at pick No. 119. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick156 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III at Round 5, Pick 18 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick157 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels in the 198th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tosh Baker
They took Tosh Baker at par in pick 235, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
