Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA FutureC+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Panthers a B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Panthers did exactly that with Shilo Sanders in pick 195. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Ransom pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 17th overall pick they get juice off the edge, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 20 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trey Amos in slot 57. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in the 74th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They reached into another round for Antwaun Powell-Ryland, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 David Walker
They talked themselves into David Walker at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
The board fumbled Brashard Smith all the way to the 141st pick, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Lathan Ransom in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick164 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
A clean, defensible pick in pick 164 with a little surplus value in Chase Lundt. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at Round 6, Pick 17 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson slipping to No. 229 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
