Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 101: the Panthers steal Trice and grade out a B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Bralen Trice got past him. The Panthers do not have to explain a thing at the Round 4 slot. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 7 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
A quiet steal in pick No. 65: Kris Jenkins for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Bralen Trice
Somehow Bralen Trice was still sitting there in slot 101, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142 Rnd5 Kalen King
Fair-plus on Kalen King, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at the 166th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Keaton Bills
No edge and no loss on Keaton Bills in No. 240; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
