Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Panthers: B-.

The Panthers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Michael Barrett at slot 180 regardless, 37 picks early.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in pick No. 33 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in pick 65 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in the 102nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kalen King
Kalen King in the 141st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner in No. 165 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Michael Barrett. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
