Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Panthers a B-.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Panthers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The McGregor pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That Franklin pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin slipping to slot 33 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick36 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They took Xavier Worthy at par in No. 36, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at pick 65 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick101 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in pick No. 101 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They went early on Michael Barrett in the 169th overall pick, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd6 AJ Barner
A reach on AJ Barner in the 180th pick; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick181 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at Round 6, Pick 6 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Stefon Thompson
A premium they did not need to pay, Stefon Thompson a notch or two before his time. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
