Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B- to prove it.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named wide receiver, a need the Panthers walked right past.

McGregor has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
They took Chop Robinson at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in Round 3, Pick 1 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in the 101st overall pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
No drama and no debate, Curtis Jacobs went about where he belonged in pick No. 168. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at No. 180 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy at pick 222 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
