Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Panthers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Panthers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

They are betting Lomu proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In the 32nd overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in Round 2, Pick 15 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick64 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A clean, defensible pick in pick 64 with a little surplus value in Dillon Thieneman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Will Lee III
By-the-book stuff, Will Lee III at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
A tidy little value on Antonio Williams in slot 78, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96 Rnd3 Cayden Green
Cayden Green at the 96th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zion Young
Zion Young in pick No. 102 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in No. 113 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
