Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Panthers let Kneeland fall and pounced. Final grade: D+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Panthers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

They will need Barrett to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Kneeland.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
The board fumbled Nate Wiggins all the way to Round 2, Pick 7, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Fair-plus on Xavier Legette, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in pick No. 59 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Value with a capital V on Ricky Pearsall in pick 74, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd4 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at slot 101 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at the 113th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
They paid sticker price for Beaux Limmer in No. 123, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130 Rnd4 Christian Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Jones at slot 130, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 142nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in pick 143 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Value said wait; Michael Barrett in Round 6, Pick 43 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune slipping to pick No. 240 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
