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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Panthers spent No. 83 on Mikail Kamara, a name the board had a full 30 spots lower. It nets out a thoroughly average C.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They banked enough surplus on Stephens to cover a lot of smaller sins. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
Jeremiyah Love at No. 19 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick28 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value.
Pick83 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
They reached into another round for Mikail Kamara, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A straight-up fair deal on Bryce Lance at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Fair-plus on Davison Igbinosun, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick157 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
The board had Beau Stephens higher than pick 157, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia at the 198th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235 Rnd7 Keyron Crawford
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keyron Crawford. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
