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

The Panthers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Fabien Lovett, the No. 184 name on the board, in slot 240.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
A tidy bit of business in slot 33, where Nate Wiggins graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Graham Barton at Round 2, Pick 7. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick65 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
They will replay Chris Braswell at pick No. 65 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They paid sticker price for Luke McCaffrey in the 142nd overall pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at pick 166 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Fabien Lovett in No. 240, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
