Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Panthers for Gray: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Cedric Gray had no business being available in No. 180, and the Panthers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Circle this one: Xavier Legette at the 33rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
A tidy bit of business in pick 65, where Jermaine Burton graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101 Rnd4 Max Melton
A clean, defensible pick in No. 101 with a little surplus value in Max Melton. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Donovan Jackson in slot 138. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick164 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in Round 5, Pick 28 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Cedric Gray
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Cedric Gray in pick No. 180, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Omar Speights slipping to the 222nd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
