Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureA
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B.

The Panthers spent real capital to be 34 picks early on Eli Cox, and the board is going to hold them to it. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker at slot 65 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Shilo Sanders
A conviction pick on Shilo Sanders at the 66th overall pick that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97 Rnd4 Antwane Wells Jr.
A reach for Antwane Wells Jr. in the 97th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick98 Rnd4 Earnest Greene III
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Earnest Greene III. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129 Rnd5 Mario Williams
They liked Mario Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 129. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick161 Rnd6 Eli Cox
Eli Cox at the 161st pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
A tidy little value on Tahj Brooks in the 162nd overall pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
