Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Panthers went off the board in a big way for Nathaniel Watson, 48 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They banked enough surplus on Wiggins to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered. They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nice patience on Nate Wiggins, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 1. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They paid sticker price for Sedrick Van Pran in No. 65, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick101 Rnd4 Will Shipley
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Will Shipley. The roster fit checks out.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
They went early on Jared Wiley in slot 154, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 Nathaniel Watson
A wild overpay on Nathaniel Watson in the 166th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
They paid up for Jaden Crumedy at the 209th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick213 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They reached into another round for Michael Barrett, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor at No. 240 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
