Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D+
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend the Panthers will want back. Grade: D+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Makhi Hughes at Round 1, Pick 19 is 328 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.

Landing Lee that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Makhi Hughes
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Payton Pierce
Payton Pierce in pick 51 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick83 Rnd3 Braylon Staley
They talked themselves into Braylon Staley at pick No. 83, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jayden Jackson
A conviction pick on Jayden Jackson at No. 119 that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tao Johnson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tao Johnson in the 156th overall pick, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick157 Rnd5 Dezz Ricks
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dezz Ricks. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198 Rnd6 Keon Wylie
Keon Wylie at the 198th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kayin Lee
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 235 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
