Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Panthers this weekend: C+.

Somebody took the Panthers to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

The Anderson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

The Hancock pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
No edge and no loss on Luther Burden III in pick No. 4; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36 Rnd2 Emery Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Emery Jones in the 36th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in No. 65 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd4 Brant Kuithe
Nothing to complain about; Brant Kuithe went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick132 Rnd5 Jordan Hancock
Nice patience on Jordan Hancock, who had no business lasting to pick 132. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in Round 5, Pick 5 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick161 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
They took Akheem Mesidor at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd7 Raheem Anderson
Raheem Anderson at the 219th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
