Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The Panthers robbed the room for Coleman. Final grade: D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Panthers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. The cost of the McCormick reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Coleman pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A tidy bit of business in slot 33, where Chop Robinson graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick39 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They took Payton Wilson at par in No. 39, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Taking Keon Coleman in Round 3, Pick 1 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
A slide stopped in the 100th pick, with Caelen Carson worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140 Rnd5 Josh Newton
The board had Josh Newton higher than the Round 5 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in pick 141 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey slipping to the 177th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
