Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B-.

Nobody else had Trey Moore anywhere near the 157th overall pick. The Panthers did, by 57 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
A real head-scratcher, Dani Dennis-Sutton in pick 51 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at the 83rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker in pick No. 119 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick156 Rnd5 Red Murdock
A wild overpay on Red Murdock in slot 156, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick157 Rnd5 Trey Moore
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Moore. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick198 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
They talked themselves into Patrick Payton at pick 198, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235 Rnd7 Brent Austin
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brent Austin. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
