Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB+ FutureB-
Rice should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a B.

When a board-topper like Brenden Rice slides to pick 110, you do not overthink it, and the Panthers did not.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Reaching for Ali left real value on the table behind him.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
No edge and no loss on Troy Franklin in pick 33; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
No drama and no debate, Payton Wilson went about where he belonged in No. 74. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They did well to land Zak Zinter in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 110 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in the 168th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
They paid a round early for Rasheen Ali in Round 6, Pick 5, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Zion Nelson at the 222nd overall pick is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Dominic Lovett
Somehow Dominic Lovett was still sitting there in slot 232, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
