Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA+
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B to prove it.

The Panthers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Tahj Washington at the Round 5 slot regardless, 21 picks early.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 10 with a little surplus value in Xavier Legette. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zach Frazier in pick 65. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick101 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick107 Rnd4 Cam Hart
A tidy little value on Cam Hart in the 107th pick, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
No drama and no debate, Tommy Eichenberg went about where he belonged in the 142nd overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166 Rnd5 Tahj Washington
A big swing on Tahj Washington at slot 166, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They took Tanor Bortolini at par in the 188th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in Round 7, Pick 20 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
