Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Panthers bled value on every deal, hence the 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. Put together, it is a D-.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
No edge and no loss on Emeka Egbuka in Round 2, Pick 1; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in No. 65 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick101 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in the 101st overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at pick 138 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at slot 168 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick182 Rnd6 Justin Walley
A quiet steal in pick No. 182: Justin Walley for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Nothing to complain about; Zakhari Franklin went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
