Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Panthers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Panthers did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Put together, it is a D-.

The Worthy reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 16th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A wild overpay on Xavier Worthy in the 33rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Max Melton
By-the-book stuff, Max Melton at No. 65 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They took Michael Hall Jr. at par in slot 78, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at Round 4, Pick 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They did well to land Cedric Gray in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kalen King
No edge and no loss on Kalen King in pick 141; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaheim Bell. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
They paid sticker price for Caedan Wallace in the 180th pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
