Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Panthers: C+.

The Panthers clearly saw something nobody else did in Ahmed Hassanein, taking him 76 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the 8th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow in No. 57 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They liked Deone Walker enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 74. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick111 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They reached into another round for Antwaun Powell-Ryland, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Baron this early at the Round 4 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in the 140th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tez Johnson in the 146th pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ahmed Hassanein
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ahmed Hassanein well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick230 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
They paid a round early for CJ Dippre in pick 230, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
