Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall F
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureD
The Panthers jumped the board for Ali and paid for it: F.

The Rasheen Ali selection is the head-turner. The Panthers reached 66 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
They paid sticker price for Marvin Harrison Jr. in the 1st overall pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick5 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
A straight-up fair deal on Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 5th pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick10 Rnd1 Javon Bullard
In pick No. 10 they get a centerfielder for the defense, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick17 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 17 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They took Edgerrin Cooper at par in pick 33, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at No. 36 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick37 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They paid a round early for Chris Braswell in pick No. 37, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at the 65th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Fair-plus on Jermaine Burton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101 Rnd4 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at slot 101 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in Round 4, Pick 4 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Cade Stover
A real head-scratcher, Cade Stover in No. 105 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick138 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
A reach on Cole Bishop in the 138th pick; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
They did well to land Ainias Smith in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181 Rnd6 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in slot 181 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick 222 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick223 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at pick No. 223 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
