Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Panthers and King: B.

The board owed the Panthers one, and it paid up: Kalen King, the No. 140 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 5 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The cost of the Legette reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They took Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at par in pick 33, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick39 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
No drama and no debate, Roman Wilson went about where he belonged in No. 39. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They liked Xavier Legette enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 65. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cade Stover
The board had Cade Stover higher than the 101st pick, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick142 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in pick No. 142; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kalen King
Kalen King in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in the 178th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
