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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Panthers took Braiden McGregor a full 37 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They took Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at par in pick No. 33, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at Round 3, Pick 1 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A reach for Leonard Taylor III in No. 102; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick141 Rnd5 Cam Hart
No edge and no loss on Cam Hart in the 141st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick 165 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
