Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
D
ValueD+

TradesF
FutureA+
The phones sank the Panthers this weekend: D. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Panthers reached some 55 spots for Brenden Rice, and value like that does not grow back.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. On value alone, Singer makes the weekend a net positive.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in Round 2, Pick 1 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Amarius Mims. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jaylin Simpson
They let Jaylin Simpson come to them and pounced at the 87th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101
Rnd4
Jamari Thrash
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jamari Thrash this early at the 101st overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113
Rnd4
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 113 is lovely value for the linebacker. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135
Rnd4
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They talked themselves into Zion Tupuola-Fetui at pick 135, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
They paid up for Malachi Moore at slot 138 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick164
Rnd5
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick175
Rnd5
Keith Randolph Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keith Randolph Jr. in pick 175, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180
Rnd6
Cam Hart
Cam Hart in pick No. 180 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
They liked Joshua Gray enough to skip the value, taking him in the 206th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222
Rnd7
Dorian Singer
Value with a capital V on Dorian Singer in the 222nd overall pick, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick235
Rnd7
Xavier Thomas
They reached a country mile for Xavier Thomas at No. 235, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
