Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Panthers to a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Panthers spent pick No. 111 on Bryce Foster, a name the board had a full 34 spots lower.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. However the rest shakes out, Umanmielen at that price is a win they earned. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 16 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malaki Starks in Round 2, Pick 1. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick48 Rnd2 Princely Umanmielen
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Princely Umanmielen in the 48th overall pick, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at the 75th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
No drama and no debate, Anthony Belton went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97 Rnd4 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They barely believed it either: Jamon Dumas-Johnson still on the board at No. 97. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in the 111th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at Round 5, Pick 27 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick161 Rnd6 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in pick 161 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
