Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Panthers.

The Panthers went off the board in a big way for Eric Gentry, 29 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 33rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
No drama and no debate, Payton Wilson went about where he belonged in pick 65. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at slot 101 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
They paid a round early for Isaiah Davis in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick180 Rnd6 AJ Barner
A premium they did not need to pay, AJ Barner a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick222 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They talked themselves into Eric Gentry at Round 7, Pick 2, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
