Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers robbed the room for Singleton. Final grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Nicholas Singleton had no business being available in the Round 7 slot, and the Panthers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Winston Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant slipping to No. 48 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick70 Rnd3 James Pearce Jr.
James Pearce Jr. in the 70th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kyle Kennard
Circle this one: Kyle Kennard at slot 106 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jabbar Muhammad
A straight-up fair deal on Jabbar Muhammad at pick No. 114, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in pick 140 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick145 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the 145th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
They reached into another round for Kevin Winston Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick221 Rnd7 Barrett Carter
Steal is underselling it; Barrett Carter at Round 7, Pick 7 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick230 Rnd7 Nicholas Singleton
They barely believed it either: Nicholas Singleton still on the board at the 230th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
