Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Panthers left linebacker untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Haynes pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at Round 2, Pick 1 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A reach for Christian Haynes in pick 65; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick101 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dominick Puni. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick168 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
The board had cheaper options than Justin Eboigbe at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at slot 180 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They paid sticker price for Dwight McGlothern in No. 222, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
