Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Panthers for Singleton: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Nicholas Singleton, No. 233, roughly 130 picks past where he belonged.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The cost of the Grant reach is exactly the players who went right after him. It is not that Sanders is a bad player; it is that the Panthers had louder needs to answer first.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at slot 19 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick44 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
A quiet steal in No. 44: Luther Burden III for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A wild overpay on Kenneth Grant in the 47th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick51 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
Of all the spots to shop, they chose interior defensive lineman. T.J. Sanders in pick 51 leaves quarterback for later.
Pick71 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick107 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in Round 4, Pick 6 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick No. 111 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick140 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at the 140th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147 Rnd5 Robert Spears-Jennings
They robbed the room for Robert Spears-Jennings here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Chris Paul Jr. at the 162nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 222 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick233 Rnd7 Nicholas Singleton
They barely believed it either: Nicholas Singleton still on the board at No. 233. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick256 Rnd7 Justin Walley
Justin Walley at slot 256 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
