Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B- to prove it.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Braiden McGregor in the 180th overall pick, a good 23 spots before the room expected him.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Legette at No. 33, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in Round 4, Pick 1 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick No. 169 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Braiden McGregor. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Matthew Jones well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
