Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Panthers bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Panthers put a flag in the ground for Michael Barrett, 70 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
No edge and no loss on Adonai Mitchell in No. 33; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A clean, defensible pick in slot 40 with a little surplus value in Chop Robinson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
The board had cheaper options than Kiran Amegadjie at the 41st overall pick, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A conviction pick on Jackson Powers-Johnson at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick52 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They went early on T'Vondre Sweat in pick 52, and the value did not follow. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick55 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 55th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in the 56th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No drama and no debate, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 63. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick64 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at slot 64 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They paid up for Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 1 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
They took Ricky Pearsall at par in pick 68, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with quarterback open.
Pick72 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A curious use of the Round 3 slot. Quarterback needed the pick; a TE-EDGE in Cade Stover did not.
Pick73 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at the 73rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in Round 3, Pick 18 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick84 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
They reached a country mile for Darius Robinson at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ben Sinnott well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114 Rnd4 Michael Barrett
A big swing on Michael Barrett at the 114th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
