Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Panthers.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Panthers left edge rusher untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in slot 33 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tyler Guyton
No drama and no debate, Tyler Guyton went about where he belonged in the 65th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick101 Rnd4 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at pick No. 101 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Fair-plus on Cole Bishop, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Cam Hart
By-the-book stuff, Cam Hart at pick 163 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in No. 180 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
