Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Gabe Hall at No. 180 will need to, sitting 34 spots clear of his grade. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A conviction pick on Payton Wilson at Round 2, Pick 1 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 65th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 102 on Maason Smith with edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kalen King
They took Kalen King at par in pick No. 141, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at pick 180 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
