Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Panthers bled value on every deal, hence the D.

Somebody took the Panthers to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

The cost of the Johnson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

Getting Thomas where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, safety very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
Fair-plus on Chop Robinson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick33 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
No drama and no debate, Adonai Mitchell went about where he belonged in the 33rd pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 DJ James
By-the-book stuff, DJ James at Round 3, Pick 26 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Mahogany. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 102 with a little surplus value in Brenden Rice. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A big swing on Theo Johnson at No. 117, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in pick 141 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick165 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
A tidy bit of business in the 165th pick, where Xavier Thomas graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Nice patience on Jordan Travis, who had no business lasting to pick 166. A need, and now a little less of one.
