Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B to prove it.

The Panthers spent real capital to be 43 picks early on Evan Anderson, and the board is going to hold them to it. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Green. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
No drama and no debate, Xavier Legette went about where he belonged in the 33rd pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Fair-plus on Ladd McConkey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
A tidy little value on Ricky Pearsall in No. 65, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Circle this one: Renardo Green at pick 101 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
No edge and no loss on Jaheim Bell in Round 5, Pick 30; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Evan Anderson in Round 7, Pick 20, miles early. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
