Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Panthers to a C-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Trey Knox at the 240th overall pick is 48 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C- in the wash.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The King pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Hit on Xavier Legette and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick No. 33 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
A conviction pick on Malachi Corley at No. 39 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A reach for Blake Corum in Round 3, Pick 1; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick100 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
They paid sticker price for Theo Johnson in slot 100, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They paid up for Braelon Allen at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick141 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
A clean, defensible pick in the 141st pick with a little surplus value in Nehemiah Pritchett. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A premium they did not need to pay, Luke McCaffrey a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Myles Cole
Myles Cole at the 144th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at pick No. 160 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick212 Rnd6 Kalen King
Circle this one: Kalen King at the 212th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick240 Rnd7 Trey Knox
They reached into another round for Trey Knox, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
