Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Panthers a B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Dwight McGlothern, 27 picks early at the 222nd overall pick. No fireworks, but a solid B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. The Jackson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They paid sticker price for Adonai Mitchell in the 33rd pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They went early on Cooper Beebe in pick No. 65, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick101 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 101st overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick168 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
By-the-book stuff, Curtis Jacobs at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Brennan Jackson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brennan Jackson at Round 6, Pick 5 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A wild overpay on Dwight McGlothern in slot 222, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
