Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B- to prove it.

The Kaimon Rucker pick is the one that will follow the Panthers into the fall. They took him 36 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Starks steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at pick No. 57 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Good price on Elic Ayomanor in pick 74, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Zy Alexander for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Kaimon Rucker
They reached into another round for Kaimon Rucker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 140th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
They reached a country mile for Barryn Sorrell at pick 146, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Que Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Que Robinson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Theo Wease Jr. at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
