Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Panthers.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Gabe Hall; the Panthers did not wait, grabbing him 34 spots ahead at pick No. 180. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Getting Hart where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They went early on Payton Wilson in Round 2, Pick 1, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Nice patience on Cam Hart, who had no business lasting to No. 102. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kalen King
No edge and no loss on Kalen King in pick 141; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A wild overpay on Jordan Jefferson in slot 165, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick180 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in the 180th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
