Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
The Panthers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Nobody had Patrick Payton this high, and it is not close. The Panthers reached 37 spots to get him at No. 197.

The Trigg pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 14th overall pick they get a three-down second-level presence. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Daylen Everette
By-the-book stuff, Daylen Everette at Round 2, Pick 18 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Ian Strong
Good price on Ian Strong in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
They did well to land Earl Little Jr. in No. 115, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Parker Brailsford. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick151 Rnd5 David Oke
David Oke in pick 151 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick154 Rnd5 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in pick No. 154 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
A wild overpay on Patrick Payton in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Miller Moss
A slide stopped in No. 231, with Miller Moss worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
