Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Panthers and Carter: B-.

Somebody in the Round 7 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Panthers sat still while Barrett Carter, the No. 175 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Every board in the league had Kennard lower, and that gap is the story. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In No. 5 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at pick No. 47 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the 71st pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick107 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mello Dotson this early at the Round 4 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at Round 4, Pick 12 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
Somehow Nicholas Singleton was still sitting there in the 139th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 143 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
A tidy bit of business in pick 160, where Lathan Ransom graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in No. 231 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
