Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Panthers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Panthers spent pick 227 on Steven Parker, a name most had 105 spots down the list.

Getting Paul Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mike Green
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick No. 24 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A safety of that caliber at the 74th pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the 109th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at pick 112 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
They robbed the room for Jared Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy slipping to pick 139 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
A real head-scratcher, Cobee Bryant in No. 145 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Chris Paul Jr. reach the 162nd pick and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 Steven Parker
Steven Parker in Round 7, Pick 11 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
