Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D-
ValueC NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The Panthers bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Nobody else had Steele Chambers anywhere near pick 141. The Panthers did, by 50 spots, and that gap is the whole story. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. If one pick saves this weekend, it is McCaffrey.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and safety is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Xavier Worthy
In pick 29 they get a No. 1 receiver, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at Round 3, Pick 1 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick73 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They did well to land Patrick Paul in No. 73, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
A slide stopped in slot 102, with Caelen Carson worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Steele Chambers
Value said wait; Steele Chambers in the 141st overall pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Davis in the 165th overall pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick180 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey slipping to Round 6, Pick 5 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
