Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Panthers bet big and early on Vincent Anthony Jr., 39 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Cooper Jr..

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 LT Overton
In pick 15 they get juice off the edge, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Romello Height
A reach on Romello Height in slot 47; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 A.J. Harris
A.J. Harris is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick115 Rnd4 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in pick No. 115 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
They reached a country mile for Kyle Louis at Round 5, Pick 10, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
They talked themselves into Vincent Anthony Jr. at the 155th pick, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
A quiet steal in the 194th pick: Aamil Wagner for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230 Rnd7 Malik Hartford
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malik Hartford. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
