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

You build a draft on nights like this. Dwight McGlothern had no business being available in the 240th overall pick, and the Panthers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Every board in the league had Barner lower, and that gap is the story. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with linebacker, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey at slot 41 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick42 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Somehow Cooper Beebe was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 1, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
You do not let an offensive lineman like Sedrick Van Pran reach pick No. 91 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd4 DJ James
The board fumbled DJ James all the way to the 101st overall pick, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at linebacker, edge rusher and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in No. 127 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner in pick 142 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They reached into another round for Jordan Jefferson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick240 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Circle this one: Dwight McGlothern at No. 240 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
