Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB TradesC+ FutureA
The Panthers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Panthers spent slot 160 on Xavier Thomas, a name most had 51 spots down the list.

However the rest shakes out, Lovett at that price is a win they earned. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick65 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
They talked themselves into Gabriel Murphy at the 65th pick, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at No. 148 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
A real head-scratcher, Xavier Thomas in pick 160 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 Aki Ogunbiyi
A reach for Aki Ogunbiyi in Round 5, Pick 32; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick No. 179 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joshua Gray well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick222 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
The board had Zakhari Franklin higher than No. 222, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Dominic Lovett
Steal is underselling it; Dominic Lovett at pick No. 230 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
