Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers cashed the board's mistake on Gould: B.

The board owed the Panthers one, and it paid up: Anthony Gould, the No. 142 name on the board, sitting there at No. 240 like a gift left on the doorstep. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in the 33rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 7 with a little surplus value in Ja'Tavion Sanders. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They will replay Xavier Legette at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at pick No. 101 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Renardo Green
The board fumbled Renardo Green all the way to the 142nd overall pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166 Rnd5 James Williams
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 166 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick240 Rnd7 Anthony Gould
They robbed the room for Anthony Gould here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
