Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Panthers.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Panthers started one anyway for Eric Gentry, 55 picks ahead of schedule.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Franklin pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
The board had Troy Franklin higher than the Round 2 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 65th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khyree Jackson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They talked themselves into Michael Barrett at the 165th pick, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
They reached a country mile for Braiden McGregor at No. 180, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eric Gentry in pick 219, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
