Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Panthers did exactly that with Michael Barrett in the 180th overall pick. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick No. 33 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
The board had cheaper options than Xavier Legette at No. 65, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Theo Johnson. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A wild overpay on Luke McCaffrey in slot 141, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at pick 165 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A real head-scratcher, Michael Barrett in Round 6, Pick 5 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
