Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers let Bowman Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Billy Bowman Jr. slide, and the Panthers were the ones holding the card at pick No. 222. Highway robbery. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Grant pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver and edge rusher still on the board.

Reaching for Rourke left real value on the table behind him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 9th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. More want than need.
Pick47 Rnd2 Will Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Will Johnson at No. 47. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the 71st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick107 Rnd4 Kenneth Grant
They bypassed pressing needs at wide receiver and edge rusher to take Kenneth Grant, an interior defensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick111 Rnd4 Kurtis Rourke
A premium they did not need to pay, Kurtis Rourke a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick140 Rnd5 Colston Loveland
Taking Colston Loveland in pick 140 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach Round 5, Pick 9 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
They will replay Danny Stutsman at slot 162 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222 Rnd7 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at No. 222 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the 233rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick256 Rnd7 Le'Veon Moss
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Le'Veon Moss in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
