Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Panthers: B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Derek Wingo at No. 204, a reach of 61 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. However the rest shakes out, Simpson at that price is a win they earned.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 33rd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at slot 89 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They reached into another round for Ben Sinnott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in pick No. 126 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylin Simpson at the 168th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180 Rnd6 Javon Baker
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Baker at pick 180, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Derek Wingo
Value said wait; Derek Wingo in pick 204 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
Chad Lindberg at pick No. 222 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
