Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB

FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Panthers. The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named wide receiver, a need the Panthers walked right past. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
They are betting Ratledge proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They went 1 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In the 8th overall pick they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick57
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
They paid a round early for Tate Ratledge in Round 2, Pick 25, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
