Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Panthers turned the phones into found money: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Panthers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. On value alone, Johnson makes the weekend a net positive. Adding George Karlaftis by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They took Adonai Mitchell at par in Round 2, Pick 1, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips at the 101st pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick142 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
No edge and no loss on Justin Eboigbe in slot 142; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick166 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at the 166th overall pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick178 Rnd6 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in No. 178 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
