Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall F
ValueC- NeedB TradesF FutureD
A weekend the Panthers spent fighting the board, and losing. F.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Akheem Mesidor in the 227th overall pick, a good 103 spots before the room expected him.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Paul Jr..

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left wide receiver open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 8 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick13 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a mismatch in the passing game, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in pick No. 54 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
They reached a country mile for Kevin Winston Jr. at slot 74, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at pick 110 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Value said wait; Cobee Bryant in Round 4, Pick 12 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in Round 5, Pick 2 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick145 Rnd5 Kobe King
Kobe King in No. 145 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Taking Chris Paul Jr. in pick No. 162 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Akheem Mesidor well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
