Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Panthers a B-.

Everything else got attention, and safety got none. That is a strange way for the Panthers to leave a draft. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The cost of the Styles reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
They reached a country mile for Sonny Styles at slot 19, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick51 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
They liked Akheem Mesidor enough to skip the value, taking him in the 51st pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at pick 83 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Fair-plus on Tacario Davis, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
They jumped the gun on Oscar Delp, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick157 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
A conviction pick on Pat Coogan at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jamal Haynes
Jamal Haynes at the 198th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235 Rnd7 Haynes King
Haynes King in No. 235 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
