Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Panthers a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Panthers spent the Round 2 slot on Xavier Legette, a name the board had a full 20 spots lower. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 33rd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in No. 39 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They paid a round early for Blake Corum in pick No. 65, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick101 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
No drama and no debate, Theo Johnson went about where he belonged in pick 101. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They paid up for Luke McCaffrey at the 141st pick when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick142 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at Round 5, Pick 6 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the 240th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
