Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Panthers bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Panthers went off the board in a big way for Rasheen Ali, 73 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They banked enough surplus on Tampa to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, safety very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In pick 26 they get a wrecking ball inside. More want than need.
Pick33 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They went early on Chris Braswell in Round 2, Pick 1, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick39 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Troy Franklin. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick65 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in No. 65 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Landon Jackson
Good price on Landon Jackson in the 68th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the 89th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick101 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid up for Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in pick No. 104 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138 Rnd5 Theo Wease
Theo Wease at Round 5, Pick 2 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick164 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in pick 164 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Theo Johnson
They paid sticker price for Theo Johnson in slot 180, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
They left a pile of value on the table to take Rasheen Ali this early at No. 222. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
