Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Panthers: B-.

The Panthers torched the value chart for Braylan Shelby, taking him 51 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
In slot 13 they get a problem off the edge, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad in the 47th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams in No. 78 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Boubacar Traore
They left a pile of value on the table to take Boubacar Traore this early at the 113th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick156 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
They reached into another round for Vincent Anthony Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick158 Rnd5 Braylan Shelby
Braylan Shelby in Round 5, Pick 17 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick194 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in No. 194 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
They jumped the gun on Pat Coogan, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
