Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Panthers shredded theirs for Antwaun Powell-Ryland. He came off 44 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mike Green
In pick No. 8 they get juice off the edge, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 57th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at No. 74 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson in slot 111 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A wild overpay on Antwaun Powell-Ryland in pick 114, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick140 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
By-the-book stuff, Mitchell Evans at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
They reached a country mile for Barryn Sorrell at pick No. 146, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at pick 163 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick230 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Carson Vinson. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
