Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureA+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Panthers: B+.

The Panthers went off the board in a big way for J.J. Weaver, 42 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

On value alone, Smith-Wade makes the weekend a net positive. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In pick 30 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Mekhi Wingo
No drama and no debate, Mekhi Wingo went about where he belonged in slot 62. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick101 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They took Blake Fisher at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at the 158th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper is a better player than pick No. 169 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
They let Kitan Oladapo come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 2. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in the 180th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
They reached into another round for J.J. Weaver, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
Maurice Smith at the 222nd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
