Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Priorities are a choice, and the Panthers made a strange one, taking Cade Stover at TE-EDGE in pick 100 with cornerback, edge rusher and other spots crying out for the pick instead. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jordan.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
A tidy little value on Ladd McConkey in the 36th pick, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at Round 3, Pick 1 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Cade Stover
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went TE-EDGE with Cade Stover while clear needs at cornerback, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick101 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
No drama and no debate, Layden Robinson went about where he belonged in slot 168. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Javon Baker
No edge and no loss on Javon Baker in the 180th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
A tidy bit of business in the 222nd overall pick, where Jawhar Jordan graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
