Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall

FutureB+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Panthers to a D. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Panthers did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.
If Carter pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
The Tampa value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The veteran additions, Lamar Jackson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In slot 32 they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
JC Latham
A tidy bit of business in pick 33, where JC Latham graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick64
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
You do not let a cornerback like T.J. Tampa reach No. 64 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95
Rnd3
Will Shipley
By-the-book stuff, Will Shipley at Round 3, Pick 32 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick101
Rnd4
Tory Horton
A conviction pick on Tory Horton at pick No. 101 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111
Rnd4
J. Michael Sturdivant
A premium they did not need to pay, J. Michael Sturdivant a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118
Rnd4
James Williams
James Williams at the 118th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
They took Khyree Jackson at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132
Rnd4
Theo Wease
No edge and no loss on Theo Wease in No. 132; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Smael Mondon Jr. in the 134th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138
Rnd5
Shemar Turner
They did well to land Shemar Turner in pick 138, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168
Rnd5
Jason Marshall Jr.
They barely believed it either: Jason Marshall Jr. still on the board at the 168th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169
Rnd5
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter in slot 169 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
