Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B- to prove it.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Panthers spent the 240th pick on Evan Anderson, a name most had 32 spots down the list.

On value alone, Gray makes the weekend a net positive. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
They paid sticker price for Darius Robinson in No. 33, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They went early on Chris Braswell in the 39th pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette slipping to pick 65 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
No edge and no loss on Matt Goncalves in the 101st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
They read the board right and Malik Mustapha was the payoff at pick No. 141. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick142 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
You do not let a linebacker like Cedric Gray reach slot 142 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
