Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Panthers started one anyway for Theo Johnson, 34 picks ahead of schedule. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at slot 33 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They liked Xavier Legette enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 65. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at No. 102 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick141 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They reached a country mile for Luke McCaffrey at the 141st overall pick, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy in pick 180 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
