Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Panthers bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The Panthers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The Jackson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and wide receiver is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A reach for Chris Braswell in pick No. 33; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 65th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Caelen Carson at pick 102 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at Round 5, Pick 5 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
They jumped the gun on Braiden McGregor, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180 Rnd6 Daequan Hardy
A reach on Daequan Hardy in No. 180; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
