Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA-
The Panthers drew a line under the quarterback search with Beck: D.

The Panthers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

Carson Beck is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. Landing Baron that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Carson Beck
In No. 6 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Emery Jones
Nothing to complain about; Emery Jones went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A tidy little value on Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 6, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cameron Ward
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cameron Ward. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Luke Lachey
A slide stopped in pick 68, with Luke Lachey worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97 Rnd4 R.J. Oben
Value with a capital V on R.J. Oben in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100 Rnd4 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in the 100th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
They read the board right and Tyler Baron was the payoff at pick No. 129. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132 Rnd5 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams in the 132nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Mario Williams
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mario Williams in the Round 5 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick161 Rnd6 J.C. Davis
Good price on J.C. Davis in Round 6, Pick 1, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
They took Akheem Mesidor at par in pick 164, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
