Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Ceaser should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Panthers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

The Jake Ferguson deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in pick 39 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Fair-plus on Payton Wilson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jermaine Burton at the 65th pick is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kris Abrams-Draine in pick No. 86. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at No. 98 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in the 119th pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Elijah Jones in No. 123. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
No edge and no loss on Mohamed Kamara in the 128th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They did well to land Ben Sinnott in Round 4, Pick 34, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick142 Rnd5 McKinnley Jackson
They barely believed it either: McKinnley Jackson still on the board at pick No. 142. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick166 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Nice patience on Isaiah Davis, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
They let Marist Liufau come to them and pounced at pick 174. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Nelson Ceaser
They robbed the room for Nelson Ceaser here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Somehow Garret Greenfield was still sitting there in the 240th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
