Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D+
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureA
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Panthers to a D+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Panthers spent the Round 7 slot on Evan Anderson, a name most had 51 spots down the list.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. On value alone, Wright makes the weekend a net positive.

The Panthers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick12 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Legette went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A premium they did not need to pay, Cooper Beebe a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick101 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
Good price on Spencer Rattler in pick 101, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A reach for Ben Sinnott in the 122nd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Value with a capital V on Cam Hart in slot 149, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker at No. 168 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jaylen Wright
Steal is underselling it; Jaylen Wright at pick No. 180 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick222 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
