Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A-
ValueA NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Panthers for Worthy: A-.

When a board-topper like Xavier Worthy slides to the 101st pick, you do not overthink it, and the Panthers did not. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick65 Rnd3 Troy Franklin
Somehow Troy Franklin was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101 Rnd4 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in pick 101 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
You do not let a cornerback like Kamal Hadden reach pick No. 168 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III at slot 180 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Turner Corcoran
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Turner Corcoran at the 222nd pick is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
