Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Panthers and Gray: D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Panthers shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Beebe pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Getting Gray where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 24 they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Bralen Trice worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They let Denzel Burke come to them and pounced at the 65th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
They liked Cooper Beebe enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 101. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
The board had cheaper options than Justin Eboigbe at pick 168, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd6 Trey Knox
They took Trey Knox at par in the 180th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
Somehow Joshua Gray was still sitting there in the 222nd pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
