Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureC+
The Panthers won the night they stopped Pritchett from sliding. Grade: B.

When a board-topper like Nehemiah Pritchett slides to the 166th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Panthers did not.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Hartman pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Nice patience on Kool-Aid McKinstry, who had no business lasting to pick No. 33. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in pick 39 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
No edge and no loss on Sedrick Van Pran in the 65th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen McMillan. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 5 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
They will replay Nehemiah Pritchett at No. 166 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
A running back of that caliber at the 206th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas slipping to slot 240 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick243 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at pick 243 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
