Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
Grand theft in Round 4, Pick 1: the Panthers steal Revel Jr. and grade out a C+.

When a board-topper like Shavon Revel Jr. slides to slot 102, you do not overthink it, and the Panthers did not. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

They will need Brown to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

So much rides on Princely Umanmielen that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In pick 19 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in No. 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They let Tyler Booker come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at Round 3, Pick 10 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Shavon Revel Jr.
Somehow Shavon Revel Jr. was still sitting there in the 102nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Barion Brown
They talked themselves into Barion Brown at slot 119, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick142 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
Nothing to complain about; DJ Campbell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
By-the-book stuff, Cobee Bryant at pick No. 146 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
