Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesD FutureC+
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Panthers.

Nobody else had Theo Johnson anywhere near pick 102. The Panthers did, by 44 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Hit on Xavier Legette and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at Round 2, Pick 1 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Payton Wilson at pick 65 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Theo Johnson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick168 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner in slot 168 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
A big swing on Braiden McGregor at No. 180, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in pick No. 222 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
