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

Somebody took the Panthers to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. Beebe has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Newton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, linebacker very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They read the board right and Brian Thomas Jr. was the payoff at pick No. 33. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They paid a round early for Cooper Beebe in No. 65, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102 Rnd4 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the 102nd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They went early on Ben Sinnott in slot 121, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke McCaffrey. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
No drama and no debate, Johnny Dixon went about where he belonged in the 180th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
