Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Panthers, and a C+ to match.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Panthers took Michael Barrett at pick No. 180, roughly 37 spots before his name belonged. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They banked enough surplus on Travis to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Value said wait; Christian Haynes in pick No. 33 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at No. 65 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ben Sinnott. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at pick 141 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They read the board right and Jordan Travis was the payoff at slot 165. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the 180th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
