Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Mertz should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Graham Mertz, No. 161, roughly 26 picks past where he belonged.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting Allar proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick 1 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Antwane Wells Jr.
They paid sticker price for Antwane Wells Jr. in pick No. 50, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at Round 3, Pick 1 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in No. 97 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129 Rnd5 Tyler Warren
They took Tyler Warren at par in slot 129, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161 Rnd6 Graham Mertz
You do not let a quarterback like Graham Mertz reach the 161st pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
