Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Panthers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Panthers took Isaiah Davis at No. 121, roughly 63 spots before his name belonged. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Panthers indulged a want in Smith while a need in quarterback stayed open.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
A slide stopped in slot 33, with Byron Murphy II worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reach on Jackson Powers-Johnson in No. 39; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick42 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the 42nd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They paid a round early for Ja'Tavion Sanders in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
A straight-up fair deal on Kiran Amegadjie at pick 52, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick54 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at pick No. 54 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick55 Rnd2 D.J. James
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on D.J. James. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick57 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
By-the-book stuff, Javon Bullard at the 57th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cooper Beebe well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick62 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in the 62nd overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with quarterback open.
Pick74 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A big swing on Dominick Puni at No. 74, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darius Robinson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kris Abrams-Draine in No. 78, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Value said wait; Ben Sinnott in Round 4, Pick 18 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Isaiah Davis
A wild overpay on Isaiah Davis in the 121st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
