Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers let Gould fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Anthony Gould, Round 7, Pick 20, roughly 98 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey in the 33rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in No. 39 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Circle this one: Xavier Legette at the 65th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101 Rnd4 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They robbed the room for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Javon Foster
The board fumbled Javon Foster all the way to pick 142, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at slot 166 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240 Rnd7 Anthony Gould
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 20 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
