Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Anthony Lucas in the 51st overall pick, a good 48 spots before the room expected him.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 19th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Anthony Lucas
They reached a country mile for Anthony Lucas at slot 51, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in the 83rd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
They talked themselves into Malachi Lawrence at pick 119, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick156 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
A tidy little value on Kyle Louis in pick No. 156, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick157 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
No edge and no loss on Aaron Graves in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick198 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Pat Coogan. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas slipping to the Round 7 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
