Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Panthers for Moore: B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Malachi Moore tumbling to the Panthers in No. 229 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In slot 18 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malaki Starks in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Taking Quinshon Judkins in pick No. 110 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They jumped the gun on Darius Alexander, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Value with a capital V on Jeffrey Bassa in pick 141, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A tidy little value on Logan Brown in Round 5, Pick 8, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in the 164th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229 Rnd7 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the 229th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
