Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
The Panthers cashed the board's mistake on Harden: B.

The board owed the Panthers one, and it paid up: Myles Harden, the No. 168 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 20 like a gift left on the doorstep. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Wallace reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A tidy little value on Troy Franklin in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick48 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
The board had Ennis Rakestraw Jr. higher than Round 2, Pick 16, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
They let Adisa Isaac come to them and pounced at pick No. 65. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101 Rnd4 DJ James
A slide stopped in the 101st overall pick, with DJ James worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at No. 114 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116 Rnd4 Erick All
A conviction pick on Erick All at pick 116 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141 Rnd5 Will Shipley
You do not let a running back like Will Shipley reach the 141st pick and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Hunter Nourzad in slot 142, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Myles Harden
They will replay Myles Harden at pick 240 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
