Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Panthers.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Panthers walked out of the weekend still thin at edge rusher, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Every board in the league had Davis lower, and that gap is the story. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in pick No. 33 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick39 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A reach on Payton Wilson in the 39th overall pick; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick 65 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in the 101st pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick142 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
They went early on Isaiah Davis in No. 142, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
They paid sticker price for Jaheim Bell in slot 166, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
