Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Coleman should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a D.

Somebody took the Panthers to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. Put together, it is a D.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Barner reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

On value alone, Coleman makes the weekend a net positive.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, safety very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Nice patience on Chop Robinson, who had no business lasting to the 33rd pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Kool-Aid McKinstry for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at No. 40, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at slot 65 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at the 100th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick138 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in pick No. 138 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick141 Rnd5 AJ Barner
They reached a country mile for AJ Barner at pick No. 141, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
A premium they did not need to pay, Layden Robinson a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177 Rnd6 Hunter Nourzad
They paid a round early for Hunter Nourzad in the 177th overall pick, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
