Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The phones sank the Panthers this weekend: D.

The phones were a trap the Panthers kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

The cost of the Sinnott reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On value alone, Lovett makes the weekend a net positive.

The Jarran Reed deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and linebacker is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
A tidy bit of business in the Round 1 slot, where Xavier Legette graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick47 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at the 47th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick65 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
The board had cheaper options than Amarius Mims at slot 65, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 D.J. James
They let D.J. James come to them and pounced at pick No. 83. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ben Sinnott. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at the 122nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at Round 5, Pick 2 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jo'Quavious Marks
Value with a capital V on Jo'Quavious Marks in pick 164, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They read the board right and Kamal Hadden was the payoff at pick No. 180. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222 Rnd7 Dominic Lovett
Dominic Lovett slipping to Round 7, Pick 2 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
