Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesD FutureA+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Panthers a B.

The Panthers put a flag in the ground for Tommy Eichenberg, 37 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Landing Newton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at the 39th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick101 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They reached into another round for Ben Sinnott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They reached a country mile for Tommy Eichenberg at Round 4, Pick 8, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at the 142nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at pick 166 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in pick No. 240 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
