Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Panthers to a D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Panthers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. The cost of the Wiley reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Smith-Wade.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 29th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at Round 2, Pick 1 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They jumped the gun on Cooper Beebe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
They went early on Mekhi Wingo in slot 102, and the value did not follow. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick141 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A tidy little value on Mason McCormick in pick No. 165, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in the 180th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
