Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesF FutureB
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Panthers to a D.

The Panthers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Bucky Irving at the 65th pick regardless, 37 picks early. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 16 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick65 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bucky Irving. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 80th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ben Sinnott well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at slot 116, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138 Rnd5 Tyler Guyton
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Guyton. The roster fit checks out.
Pick164 Rnd5 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III at pick No. 164 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in the 180th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
