Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Panthers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Malaki Starks, the No. 27 name on the board, in the 57th overall pick.

Every board in the league had Ingram-Dawkins lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 8 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malaki Starks in slot 57, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
They paid sticker price for Jared Ivey in the 74th pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tai Felton at the 111th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
By-the-book stuff, Anthony Belton at pick 114 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick140 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson at slot 140 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in pick No. 146 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at No. 163 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They went early on Cam Jackson in Round 7, Pick 14, and the value did not follow. It adds depth where they could use a little.
