Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesC+ FutureB+
The Panthers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Panthers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 222 on Dylan McMahon a full 21 spots early.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. That Oladapo pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Value with a capital V on Troy Franklin in pick 33, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
The board had Chris Braswell higher than pick No. 65, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick101 Rnd4 Max Melton
The board had cheaper options than Max Melton at No. 101, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kitan Oladapo in Round 6, Pick 5. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
Dylan McMahon at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
