Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Panthers lost the trade table, and the C- tells the story.

The Panthers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Vaki.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at No. 41 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick No. 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
They took Bralen Trice at par in the 65th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Value with a capital V on Ricky Pearsall in slot 67, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cade Stover in the 78th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
No drama and no debate, Cole Bishop went about where he belonged in pick 105. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 10 with a little surplus value in Zak Zinter. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
By-the-book stuff, Isaac Guerendo at No. 126 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick142 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at the 142nd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
A straight-up fair deal on Marist Liufau at pick No. 166, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at pick 169 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
