Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
D
ValueB
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB
The Panthers robbed the room for McConkey. Final grade: D. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Panthers shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The math is unkind, and the D follows.
Reaching for Fisher left real value on the table behind him. If one pick saves this weekend, it is McConkey.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at slot 26 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick31
Rnd1
JC Latham
In pick 31 they get an anchor for the offensive line, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick60
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
They barely believed it either: Ladd McConkey still on the board at pick No. 60. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73
Rnd3
Blake Corum
Blake Corum at the 73rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
A big swing on Blake Fisher at the 75th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick92
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil slid further than he should have, and the 92nd pick is lovely value for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Tykee Smith
They took Tykee Smith at par in slot 94, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
A reach for Khyree Jackson in pick No. 97; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick98
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at pick 98 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
No edge and no loss on Matt Goncalves in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116
Rnd4
Spencer Rattler
You do not let a quarterback like Spencer Rattler reach Round 4, Pick 16 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick129
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the 129th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at No. 131 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132
Rnd4
DJ James
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, DJ James in pick 132, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143
Rnd5
LaDarius Henderson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, LaDarius Henderson well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165
Rnd5
Layden Robinson
No drama and no debate, Layden Robinson went about where he belonged in No. 165. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180
Rnd6
Braiden McGregor
They reached into another round for Braiden McGregor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor is a better player than the 198th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick213
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
They paid sticker price for Sam Hartman in the 213th overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219
Rnd6
Jontrey Hunter
Jontrey Hunter in slot 219 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247
Rnd7
Zakhari Franklin
Circle this one: Zakhari Franklin at pick No. 247 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jeremy Flax
Jeremy Flax in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254
Rnd7
Derek Wingo
They paid a round early for Derek Wingo in the 254th overall pick, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick257
Rnd7
Devin Leary
A straight-up fair deal on Devin Leary at pick No. 257, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
