Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Panthers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The Panthers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Taulia Tagovailoa at the Round 6 slot regardless, 57 picks early.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with linebacker still on the board.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Terrion Arnold. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick33 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at the 33rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at slot 59 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in pick No. 65 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick96 Rnd3 Malik Washington
No drama and no debate, Malik Washington went about where he belonged in No. 96. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
By-the-book stuff, Christian Mahogany at pick 97 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They let Cam Hart come to them and pounced at pick No. 102. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went OLB-EDGE with Javon Solomon while clear needs at linebacker sat open.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid sticker price for James Williams in No. 117, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A reach on Theo Johnson in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
They paid a round early for Xavier Thomas in Round 5, Pick 5, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the 165th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Sione Vaki at pick 178 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy at the 180th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
They took Jase McClellan at par in the 184th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in Round 6, Pick 22 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
They reached into another round for Taulia Tagovailoa, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
