Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 219: the Panthers steal Dial and grade out a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Panthers watched Marcellas Dial slide 25 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They will need Powers-Johnson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 33 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Ray Davis
They paid up for Ray Davis at Round 4, Pick 2 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick165 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
The board had Theo Johnson higher than pick No. 165, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at the 180th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd6 Marcellas Dial
Steal is underselling it; Marcellas Dial at slot 219 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
