Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Panthers.

Everything else got attention, and safety got none. That is a strange way for the Panthers to leave a draft.

If Worthy pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Landing Bethune that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A straight-up fair deal on Ja'Tavion Sanders at the 33rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at slot 39 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
By-the-book stuff, Bralen Trice at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They paid sticker price for Cam Hart in the 101st pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick142 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
No edge and no loss on Trevor Keegan in pick 142; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tatum Bethune at pick No. 240 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
