Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Panthers a B-.

The Panthers spent real capital to be 23 picks early on Ryan Fitzgerald, and the board is going to hold them to it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Moore pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 8th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Fair-plus on Donovan Ezeiruaku, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at Round 3, Pick 10 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in pick 111 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
A tidy little value on Jordan Phillips in No. 114, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick140 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick146 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A tidy bit of business in the 146th overall pick, where Malachi Moore graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A reach for Kyle Williams in slot 163; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Teddye Buchanan in Round 7, Pick 14, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
