Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Panthers, and a C+ to match.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Panthers would have aced it. Davin Vann at Round 5, Pick 25 is 94 spots clear of where he belonged. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Hit on Landon Jackson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In slot 8 they get a disruptor off the edge, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tre Harris
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 57 with a little surplus value in Tre Harris. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
They paid sticker price for Zy Alexander in pick 74, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113 Rnd4 David Walker
Value said wait; David Walker in Round 4, Pick 12 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141 Rnd5 Fadil Diggs
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Fadil Diggs. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
They reached into another round for Tyler Batty, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164 Rnd5 Davin Vann
Davin Vann in the 164th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at pick No. 229 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
