Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 230th pick lands the Panthers a B, Weeks and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Whit Weeks had no business being available in No. 230, and the Panthers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In the 13th overall pick they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that.
Pick47 Rnd2 Spencer Fano
Spencer Fano in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jermod McCoy
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 78 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Makai Lemon
Somehow Makai Lemon was still sitting there in the 113th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156 Rnd5 David Bailey
David Bailey at Round 5, Pick 15 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick158 Rnd5 DJ McKinney
Circle this one: DJ McKinney at pick No. 158 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick194 Rnd6 Michael Taaffe
They robbed the room for Michael Taaffe here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick230 Rnd7 Whit Weeks
You do not let a linebacker like Whit Weeks reach No. 230 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
