Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Amegadjie should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Kiran Amegadjie at the 101st overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry slid further than he should have, and the 33rd overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They let Adonai Mitchell come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 7. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at No. 65 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101 Rnd4 Kiran Amegadjie
They barely believed it either: Kiran Amegadjie still on the board at the Round 4 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142 Rnd5 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in the 142nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick166 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Nice patience on Luke McCaffrey, who had no business lasting to pick 166. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at slot 240 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
