Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Panthers bled value on every deal, hence the D+.

The Panthers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Bub Means at Round 6, Pick 18 regardless, 68 picks early.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
No drama and no debate, Adonai Mitchell went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 1. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at pick No. 65 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick95 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in No. 95 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
They took Sataoa Laumea at par in the 118th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They did well to land Javon Foster in pick 125, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at slot 133 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A big swing on Luke McCaffrey at the 141st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Nick Gargiulo
A wild overpay on Nick Gargiulo in pick 150, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick165 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at pick No. 165 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They reached into another round for Frank Gore Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193 Rnd6 Bub Means
Bub Means at slot 193 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick232 Rnd7 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Nothing to complain about; Javontae Jean-Baptiste went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
