Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Panthers a B-.

Nobody else had Braiden McGregor anywhere near the 142nd pick. The Panthers did, by 32 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
They took Darius Robinson at par in pick 33, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick39 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at Round 2, Pick 7 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They paid a round early for Mike Sainristil in slot 65, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in No. 101 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick142 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Braiden McGregor this early at the 142nd overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166 Rnd5 AJ Barner
They paid sticker price for AJ Barner in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240 Rnd7 Marcellas Dial
By-the-book stuff, Marcellas Dial at the 240th pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
