Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Panthers reached some 123 spots for Tony Rojas, and value like that does not grow back. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Davis. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In No. 13 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
A real head-scratcher, Michael Taaffe in slot 47 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick78 Rnd3 Suntarine Perkins
Suntarine Perkins at pick No. 78 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the 113th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick156 Rnd5 J.C. Davis
They robbed the room for J.C. Davis here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick158 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A straight-up fair deal on Davison Igbinosun at Round 5, Pick 17, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A tidy bit of business in the 194th overall pick, where Xavier Nwankpa graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Tony Rojas
Tony Rojas in the 230th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
