Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Panthers this weekend: D.

The tape said wait; the Panthers did not. Kendall Milton went at pick 208, a good 230 picks before the board was ready. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and safety is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They liked Jeremiah Trotter Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Adonai Mitchell
A premium they did not need to pay, Adonai Mitchell a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101 Rnd4 Antwane Wells Jr.
They jumped the gun on Antwane Wells Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick118 Rnd4 Moose Muhammad III
A big swing on Moose Muhammad III at Round 4, Pick 18, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138 Rnd5 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in No. 138 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Value said wait; Layden Robinson in pick No. 146 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
No drama and no debate, Fabien Lovett went about where he belonged in pick 164. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick184 Rnd6 Theo Johnson
A wild overpay on Theo Johnson in No. 184, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at pick No. 222 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Kaimon Rucker
A reach for Kaimon Rucker in Round 7, Pick 18; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
