Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers let Tuten fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Panthers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 152 name on the board, in No. 230. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 8th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Need was not the driver here.
Pick57 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
Value with a capital V on JT Tuimoloau in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick 74 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Andrew Mukuba in No. 111, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Steal is underselling it; Savion Williams at the 114th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at Round 5, Pick 2 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
They robbed the room for Brashard Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at pick No. 163 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Taking Bhayshul Tuten in No. 230 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
