Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Panthers and Dial: B.

The Panthers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Marcellas Dial, the No. 194 name on the board, in pick 219.

The Shipley reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A tidy little value on Adonai Mitchell in pick 39, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
A quiet steal in the 47th overall pick: Bralen Trice for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111 Rnd4 Will Shipley
A wild overpay on Will Shipley in pick No. 111, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas in Round 6, Pick 5 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd6 Marcellas Dial
Marcellas Dial at slot 219 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
