Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B.

For all the boxes ticked, the Panthers skipped the loudest one: cornerback is exactly as bare as it was.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Coleman. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman slid further than he should have, and slot 33 is lovely value for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in Round 3, Pick 1; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
No drama and no debate, Matt Goncalves went about where he belonged in the 101st overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker slipping to the 168th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at the Round 6 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222 Rnd7 Erick All
Erick All in pick 222 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
