Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueC- NeedB TradesA FutureA+
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B+ to prove it.

Some picks age like wine; Zane Durant at the 234th pick will need to, sitting 54 spots clear of his grade.

Landing Wease Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Cooper Beebe deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at Round 1, Pick 16 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick38 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
Value said wait; Ashton Gillotte in No. 38 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick47 Rnd2 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at the 47th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick66 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Warren this early at pick No. 66. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102 Rnd4 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at the 102nd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Aubrey Burks
They paid a round early for Aubrey Burks in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. in pick 146 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in the 178th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216 Rnd7 Cody Simon
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cody Simon in slot 216, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234 Rnd7 Zane Durant
They reached into another round for Zane Durant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
