Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
D-

TradesF
FutureC
The Panthers bled value on every deal, hence the D-. The Panthers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.
They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Wilson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick86
Rnd3
Amarius Mims
They did well to land Amarius Mims in slot 86, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114
Rnd4
Payton Wilson
They let Payton Wilson come to them and pounced at the 114th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149
Rnd5
Tyler Guyton
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Guyton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick200
Rnd6
Keith Randolph Jr.
No drama and no debate, Keith Randolph Jr. went about where he belonged in the 200th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
