Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Panthers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Panthers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

If Burks pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Adonai Mitchell. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in No. 69 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
They paid a round early for Cooper Beebe in the 101st pick, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at pick No. 112 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They paid sticker price for Ben Sinnott in pick 150, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A premium they did not need to pay, Michael Barrett a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188 Rnd6 Isaiah Neyor
A real head-scratcher, Isaiah Neyor in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Isaiah Davis
A reasonable price with a little left over, Isaiah Davis in slot 222. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 Aubrey Burks
A wild overpay on Aubrey Burks in No. 226, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
