Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Panthers cashed the board's mistake on Laumea: A.

Somebody in Round 5, Pick 30 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Panthers sat still while Sataoa Laumea, the No. 131 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will need Barner to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick39 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 7: Graham Barton for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick44 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
The board had Brian Thomas Jr. higher than slot 44, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in pick 65 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 James Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, James Williams a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick142 Rnd5 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at the 142nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Beau Brade slipping to No. 148 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at the 152nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
They barely believed it either: Sataoa Laumea still on the board at pick 166. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Somehow Jase McClellan was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 2, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune is a better player than slot 240 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
