Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Panthers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Panthers came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Reaching for Davis left real value on the table behind him. Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at pick No. 42 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick65 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
They paid a round early for Ricky Pearsall in the 65th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They paid sticker price for Dominick Puni in pick 100, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A reach for Kris Abrams-Draine in slot 102; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
A surprising call. With quarterback still to address, they spent No. 104 on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick107 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A reach on Darius Robinson in Round 4, Pick 7; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 James Williams
They talked themselves into James Williams at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They jumped the gun on Javon Foster, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick120 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A real head-scratcher, Ben Sinnott in pick 120 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at slot 123 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in the 152nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162 Rnd5 Delmar Glaze
No drama and no debate, Delmar Glaze went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 26. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick No. 166 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Isaiah Neyor
A premium they did not need to pay, Isaiah Neyor a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
