Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers cashed the board's mistake on Lovett: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Fabien Lovett, the Round 7 slot, roughly 57 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
The board had Chop Robinson higher than slot 33, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick39 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 7 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at pick 65 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd4 DJ James
They barely believed it either: DJ James still on the board at pick No. 101. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166 Rnd5 James Williams
Steal is underselling it; James Williams at the 166th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Fabien Lovett in No. 241, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
