Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B- to prove it.

The Panthers put a flag in the ground for Frank Crum, 88 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. On value alone, Bishop makes the weekend a net positive.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
They did well to land Nate Wiggins in Round 2, Pick 1, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at pick 39 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Value said wait; Devontez Walker in slot 65 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A tidy bit of business in the 101st overall pick, where Cole Bishop graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick142 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
They liked Isaiah Davis enough to skip the value, taking him in the 142nd pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Frank Crum
They talked themselves into Frank Crum at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Easton Gibbs
They reached a country mile for Easton Gibbs at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
