Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Panthers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The Panthers clearly saw something nobody else did in Isaiah Davis, taking him 107 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They banked enough surplus on Trice to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Brock Bowers
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Brock Bowers in Round 2, Pick 1, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick34 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
They barely believed it either: Dallas Turner still on the board at the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They liked Jackson Powers-Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 41st pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick47 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A reach on T'Vondre Sweat in pick 47; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick50 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson is a better player than the 50th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 D.J. James
They went early on D.J. James in pick No. 54, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick56 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Fair-plus on Jeremiah Trotter Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
They paid sticker price for Javon Bullard in pick No. 65, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
A straight-up fair deal on Ricky Pearsall at Round 3, Pick 3, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They jumped the gun on Cooper Beebe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in No. 72 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dominick Puni in the 74th overall pick, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
They reached into another round for Kris Abrams-Draine, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77 Rnd3 Isaiah Davis
Value said wait; Isaiah Davis in pick No. 77 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Circle this one: Bralen Trice at pick 84 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
