Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB+
The Panthers finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D.

The Austin Booker selection is the head-turner. The Panthers reached 45 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

Everything downstream of Drake Maye depends on Drake Maye, and the building knows it. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

The Amegadjie pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick18 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 18th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 25th overall pick they get an island corner, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
No edge and no loss on Adonai Mitchell in No. 33; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Circle this one: Kiran Amegadjie at pick 72 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111 Rnd4 Austin Booker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Austin Booker well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115 Rnd4 Sincere Haynesworth
Sincere Haynesworth at No. 115 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
This one needs a full-page explanation: Michael Barrett in the 147th pick, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at slot 155 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They took Jared Wiley at par in pick No. 195, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
They let Isaiah Neyor come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 2. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
