Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Theo Johnson at the Round 4 slot, a reach of 34 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. They banked enough surplus on McCaffrey to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick No. 65 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at pick 102 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at No. 141 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick165 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mason McCormick in the 165th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey slid further than he should have, and the 180th pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
