Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Panthers.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Trey Moore; the Panthers did not wait, grabbing him 56 spots ahead at pick 158. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
A premium they did not need to pay, Derrick Moore a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Devin Moore in slot 83 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
Malachi Lawrence at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick158 Rnd5 Trey Moore
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Moore. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
They paid sticker price for Bryce Boettcher in pick No. 159, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at the 200th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
A straight-up fair deal on Eli Heidenreich at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
