Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
The Panthers cashed the board's mistake on Alexander: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Darius Alexander, the 163rd pick, roughly 37 picks past where he belonged.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Briningstool proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The dealing was even money, start to finish.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 14 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 24th overall pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
Nothing to complain about; Kyle Kennard went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
No edge and no loss on Joshua Farmer in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick114 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. slipping to pick 114 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick140 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Circle this one: Anthony Belton at pick No. 140 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in No. 146 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Taking Darius Alexander in the 163rd pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick230 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
