Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Abdul Carter at the 38th pick will need to, sitting 79 spots clear of his grade. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Allar. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 4th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Abdul Carter
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Abdul Carter. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Warren well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102 Rnd4 Drew Allar
They barely believed it either: Drew Allar still on the board at the Round 4 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
No edge and no loss on Cobee Bryant in pick 142; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
A wild overpay on Tyler Baron in Round 5, Pick 8, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick178 Rnd6 Kyle McCord
A reach for Kyle McCord in the 178th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
A premium they did not need to pay, T.J. Sanders a notch or two before his time. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick234 Rnd7 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
