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

Somebody took the Panthers to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

They will need Speights to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Wilson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, safety very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In No. 26 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30 Rnd1 Chris Braswell
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Braswell. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick33 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at slot 33 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A conviction pick on Ja'Tavion Sanders at pick 39 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick65 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A premium they did not need to pay, Blake Corum a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 66th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Johnny Wilson at pick No. 93 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101 Rnd4 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at Round 4, Pick 1 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick104 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the 104th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick168 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
They read the board right and LaDarius Henderson was the payoff at the 168th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
They let Jase McClellan come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 2. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
