Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureC-
The Panthers bled value on every deal, hence the C-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Panthers spent the 229th overall pick on Jasheen Davis, a name the board had a full 112 spots lower.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Getting Farmer where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 20th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick74 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at pick 74 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Nice patience on Kevin Winston Jr., who had no business lasting to slot 110. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at the 113th overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at No. 141 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick147 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Circle this one: Emery Jones Jr. at the 147th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick164 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Taking Logan Brown in No. 164 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
A wild overpay on Jasheen Davis in Round 7, Pick 11, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
