Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Panthers: B.

The Panthers torched the value chart for Princewill Umanmielen, taking him 29 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That Fitzgerald pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In pick 19 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse in the 51st pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick83 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
A wild overpay on Mikail Kamara in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bishop Fitzgerald at slot 119 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick157 Rnd5 Albert Regis
No drama and no debate, Albert Regis went about where he belonged in the 157th overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick158 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher in No. 158 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen in slot 199 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick235 Rnd7 Anthony Evans III
Anthony Evans III at the 235th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
