Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Panthers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Panthers would have aced it. Ben Sinnott at pick No. 93 is 52 spots clear of where he belonged.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Panthers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 34 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They took Xavier Worthy at par in the 39th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
The board had cheaper options than Ja'Tavion Sanders at Round 2, Pick 9, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kiran Amegadjie. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick52 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No edge and no loss on Chris Braswell in slot 52; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick No. 54 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
A straight-up fair deal on Jonathon Brooks at No. 55, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
They paid sticker price for Javon Bullard in pick No. 58, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick59 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
They liked Brenden Rice enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 59. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A reach on Cooper Beebe in the 62nd overall pick; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at slot 67 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick71 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dominick Puni in the 71st pick, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Darius Robinson in Round 3, Pick 10 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in slot 77 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 DJ James
A wild overpay on DJ James in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
They reached into another round for Ben Sinnott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jordan Travis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Travis. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
