Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Panthers spent the 222nd overall pick on Jase McClellan, a name most had 25 spots down the list. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
They took Keon Coleman at par in the 33rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Princely Umanmielen
No edge and no loss on Princely Umanmielen in No. 65; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138 Rnd5 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at pick No. 138 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick164 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at slot 164 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Fair-plus on Kamal Hadden, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
They reached into another round for Jase McClellan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
