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

Everything else got attention, and cornerback got none. That is a strange way for the Panthers to leave a draft.

Reaching for Rattler left real value on the table behind him. The Wilson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
A straight-up fair deal on Ladd McConkey at No. 33, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
No drama and no debate, Xavier Legette went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 7. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in the 65th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
They liked Spencer Rattler enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 101. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick142 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
The board had cheaper options than Hunter Nourzad at pick 142, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in slot 166 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
