Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Panthers to a D+.

The Panthers put a flag in the ground for Shilo Sanders, 41 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. The math is unkind, and the D+ follows.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. However the rest shakes out, Belton at that price is a win they earned.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, wide receiver very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A clean, defensible pick in the 45th overall pick with a little surplus value in Jihaad Campbell. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A slide stopped in pick 57, with JT Tuimoloau worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
A straight-up fair deal on Jared Ivey at the 74th pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in Round 3, Pick 28 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at No. 97 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Kevin Winston Jr. graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at the 114th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 140 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
They barely believed it either: Anthony Belton still on the board at the 146th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick163 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at Round 5, Pick 25 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick230 Rnd7 John Williams
John Williams at pick 230 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick242 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders in No. 242 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
