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

Everything else got attention, and edge rusher got none. That is a strange way for the Panthers to leave a draft. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Wheatley pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will need Nwankpa to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In the 6th pick they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 CJ Allen
They paid sticker price for CJ Allen in slot 38, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70 Rnd3 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in Round 3, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
A quiet steal in pick No. 106: Zakee Wheatley for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145 Rnd5 Amare Campbell
Amare Campbell at pick 145 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick184 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
Good price on De'Zhaun Stribling in the 219th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
