Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Panthers and Moore: A-.

Call it larceny. Malachi Moore sat on the board until the Round 5 slot, and the Panthers did not need to be asked twice. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Malaki Starks and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 25, and they pounced on premier safety value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in No. 74 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Jared Wilson at pick 110, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
The board fumbled Demetrius Knight Jr. all the way to the 113th pick, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at slot 147 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
They will replay Malachi Moore at the 164th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick181 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at pick No. 181 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick194 Rnd6 Cody Simon
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Cody Simon in No. 194, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
