Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesD- FutureA
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Panthers to a B-.

The Tanor Bortolini pick is the one that will follow the Panthers into the fall. They took him 45 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson slipping to No. 65 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in Round 4, Pick 1 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in pick No. 122 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick142 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They talked themselves into Tanor Bortolini at the 142nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at pick 166 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
They paid up for Kimani Vidal at the 240th pick when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
