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

Nobody had Terrance Carter Jr. this high, and it is not close. The Panthers reached 25 spots to get him at No. 83.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Chris Cole
In slot 19 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Terrance Carter Jr.
Terrance Carter Jr. at No. 83 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cam Cook
A wild overpay on Cam Cook in pick No. 121, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134 Rnd4 Koi Perich
Koi Perich in pick 134 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
