Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers won the night they stopped Brown from sliding. Grade: B-.

Every other box got a look, but wide receiver did not. The Panthers will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Brown. They are betting Barrett proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at the 33rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in No. 65, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khyree Jackson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick165 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at pick 165 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd6 Omar Brown
You do not let a safety like Omar Brown reach slot 219 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
