Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Panthers a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Panthers spent No. 180 on Braiden McGregor, a name most had 23 spots down the list. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They took Xavier Legette at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in pick 65; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at the 101st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at No. 169 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braiden McGregor in pick No. 180, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A big swing on Matthew Jones at slot 222, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
