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

The Panthers spent real capital to be 37 picks early on Michael Barrett, and the board is going to hold them to it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Good price on Troy Franklin in pick 33, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
A reach on Xavier Legette in the 65th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Theo Johnson this early at No. 102. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at pick No. 141 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in Round 6, Pick 5 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
