Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
D+
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesF
FutureA+
The Panthers found their guy under center in Williams: D+. The Panthers spent real capital to be 46 picks early on Carson Steele, and the board is going to hold them to it. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wilson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In No. 1 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick2
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 2 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick4
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the 4th pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick21
Rnd1
Xavier Legette
In pick 21 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
A clean, defensible pick in slot 33 with a little surplus value in Terrion Arnold. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 34th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick35
Rnd2
Trey Benson
Value said wait; Trey Benson in Round 2, Pick 3 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65
Rnd3
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in the 65th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the 66th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68
Rnd3
Cooper DeJean
Value with a capital V on Cooper DeJean in pick No. 68, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70
Rnd3
Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick101
Rnd4
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at pick 101 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cade Stover
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cade Stover. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164
Rnd5
Christian Mahogany
A wild overpay on Christian Mahogany in No. 164, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180
Rnd6
Carson Steele
They reached into another round for Carson Steele, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick195
Rnd6
Erick All
They left a pile of value on the table to take Erick All this early at the 195th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
