Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureC
The Panthers lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Panthers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If McGregor pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and offensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A clean, defensible pick in slot 33 with a little surplus value in Xavier Legette. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in pick 65 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in No. 66, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 101st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They paid a round early for Jordan Jefferson in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick180 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
A wild overpay on Braiden McGregor in pick No. 180, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
A tidy little value on Daequan Hardy in the 222nd pick, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
