Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Anthony Lucas, 45 picks early at the Round 2 slot. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In the 19th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Anthony Lucas
A wild overpay on Anthony Lucas in pick 51, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad in Round 3, Pick 19 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Austin Romaine
Austin Romaine in slot 119 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick153 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Vincent Anthony Jr.. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick158 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
By-the-book stuff, Iapani Laloulu at No. 158 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200 Rnd6 Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite is a better player than the 200th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
They left a pile of value on the table to take Daevin Hobbs this early at slot 235. A minor need, but a need all the same.
