Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 227th pick lands the Panthers a B-, Bassa and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jeffrey Bassa had no business being available in the Round 7 slot, and the Panthers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They will need Diggs to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in No. 57 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in pick No. 74 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick111 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 111 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
Value said wait; Elijah Roberts in the 114th pick says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140 Rnd5 Fadil Diggs
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Fadil Diggs. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen McLeod this early at pick 146. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Que Robinson
A wild overpay on Que Robinson in the 163rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jeffrey Bassa
They will replay Jeffrey Bassa at slot 227 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
