Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD FutureA
The Panthers bled value on every deal, hence the B-.

Some picks age like wine; Nathaniel Watson at the Round 5 slot will need to, sitting 47 spots clear of his grade. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Coleman steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
A tidy bit of business in the 39th overall pick, where Cooper DeJean graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
They robbed the room for Keon Coleman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
No edge and no loss on Theo Johnson in pick 117; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
No drama and no debate, Tommy Eichenberg went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 6. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
A wild overpay on Layden Robinson in No. 151, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
They paid a round early for Kimani Vidal in pick 240, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
