Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers let Lovett fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Fabien Lovett tumbling to the Panthers in slot 240 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
By-the-book stuff, Adonai Mitchell at No. 33 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 7 with a little surplus value in Ja'Tavion Sanders. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They barely believed it either: Xavier Legette still on the board at the Round 3 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101 Rnd4 DJ James
You do not let a cornerback like DJ James reach pick 101 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142 Rnd5 James Williams
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, James Williams in slot 142, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Circle this one: Beau Brade at the 166th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
Steal is underselling it; Fabien Lovett at pick No. 240 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
