Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Panthers get a C+.

The Panthers put a flag in the ground for Jordan Burch, 31 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In pick No. 8 they get a problem off the edge, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at No. 57 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
They paid sticker price for Jared Ivey in Round 3, Pick 10, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Nice patience on Tai Felton, who had no business lasting to the 111th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
A big swing on Mello Dotson at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick140 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
No edge and no loss on Malachi Moore in pick 140; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at slot 163 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick230 Rnd7 Shemar James
Shemar James in Round 7, Pick 14 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
