Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Panthers to a D-.

The war room fell hard for Ben Sinnott, and it showed at the Round 3 slot: 70 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it.

With safety and quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and safety is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 3 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in the 43rd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in the 46th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick50 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in pick No. 50. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick52 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A premium they did not need to pay, T'Vondre Sweat a notch or two before his time. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at No. 56 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick60 Rnd2 D.J. James
No edge and no loss on D.J. James in Round 2, Pick 28; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick61 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They paid up for Cooper Beebe at slot 61 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick64 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They did well to land Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 64, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A surprising call. With safety and quarterback still to address, they spent pick 68 on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They reached into another round for Sedrick Van Pran, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
Value said wait; Ben Sinnott in the 73rd pick says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick74 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dominick Puni this early at No. 74. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A wild overpay on Darius Robinson in the 75th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
A big swing on Kris Abrams-Draine at Round 3, Pick 12, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cade Stover
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went TE-EDGE with Cade Stover while clear needs at safety and quarterback sat open.
Pick119 Rnd4 Malik Washington
A straight-up fair deal on Malik Washington at the 119th pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
