Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Panthers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the B-.

Somebody took the Panthers to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The Vidal reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd3 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at pick No. 100 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at Round 4, Pick 1 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in the 139th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick142 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the 142nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
A reach for Layden Robinson in pick 166; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A premium they did not need to pay, Kimani Vidal a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
