Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Panthers bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The tape said wait; the Panthers did not. Frank Gore Jr. went at slot 181, a good 45 picks before the board was ready. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. With quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on interior defensive lineman is the choice that costs them. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

That Brade pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in No. 33 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Value with a capital V on Chris Braswell in pick 57, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
The board fumbled T'Vondre Sweat all the way to slot 65, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick69 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
The board had Payton Wilson higher than the 69th overall pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mike Sainristil in the Round 3 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Austin Booker
A quiet steal in pick No. 92: Austin Booker for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
A slide stopped in the 101st overall pick, with Dominick Puni worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick105 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Fair-plus on Christian Mahogany, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
Of all the spots to shop, they chose interior defensive lineman. DeWayne Carter in slot 110 leaves quarterback for later.
Pick125 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Wilson at pick 125, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaheim Bell. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick142 Rnd5 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara slipping to Round 5, Pick 6 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at No. 168 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick181 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Frank Gore Jr. this early at the Round 6 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where Ryan Flournoy graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Logan Lee
They read the board right and Logan Lee was the payoff at No. 225. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at Round 7, Pick 20 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Garret Greenfield in the 246th pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
