Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB+ FutureC+
The Panthers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Devin Culp at the 257th pick is 46 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They banked enough surplus on Isaac to cover a lot of smaller sins. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 25 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at slot 52, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
A slide stopped in pick 65, with Adisa Isaac worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Good price on Blake Corum in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in the 99th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108 Rnd4 Will Shipley
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Will Shipley. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick230 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They reached into another round for Matthew Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick257 Rnd7 Devin Culp
Value said wait; Devin Culp in the 257th pick says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
