Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Panthers spent Round 2, Pick 1 on Xavier Legette, a name most had 40 spots down the list.

However the rest shakes out, Oladapo at that price is a win they earned. For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Xavier Legette well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick 39 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at No. 65 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They reached into another round for Theo Johnson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick142 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
No edge and no loss on Nehemiah Pritchett in pick No. 142; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
They went early on Braiden McGregor in the 166th overall pick, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at slot 178 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
