Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesC- FutureA
The Panthers let Newton fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Josh Newton had no business being available in the Round 5 slot, and the Panthers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Legette at the 33rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy is a better player than No. 65 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni slipping to the 101st pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick142 Rnd5 Josh Newton
They will replay Josh Newton at pick 142 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick166 Rnd5 Marcus Harris
They let Marcus Harris come to them and pounced at slot 166. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Trey Knox slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 20 is lovely value for the tight end. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
