Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C-
ValueC- NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The Panthers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C-.

The Panthers bet big and early on Xavier Legette, 37 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A wild overpay on Xavier Legette in slot 33, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They jumped the gun on Payton Wilson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A big swing on Blake Corum at the 65th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick101 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in pick 101 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kalen King
A straight-up fair deal on Kalen King at Round 5, Pick 5, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nehemiah Pritchett. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
No drama and no debate, Luke McCaffrey went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 8. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
They paid a round early for Braiden McGregor in slot 160, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick240 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in the 240th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
