Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall F
ValueF NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
A weekend the Panthers spent ahead of the board, for worse: F.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Panthers would have aced it. Caden Prieskorn at No. 145 is 166 spots clear of where he belonged. There is no dressing it up: a F.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain.

That McLaughlin pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Tre Harris
In pick No. 8 they get a difference-maker at receiver, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaxson Dart in No. 34, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick57 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
By-the-book stuff, TreVeyon Henderson at Round 2, Pick 25 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick74 Rnd3 JJ Pegues
A real head-scratcher, JJ Pegues in slot 74 is miles ahead of his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick109 Rnd4 Addison West
A big swing on Addison West at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at the 112th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in No. 113 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in the 139th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Caden Prieskorn
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Caden Prieskorn well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick No. 219 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227 Rnd7 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at the 227th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick256 Rnd7 Warren Brinson
They reached into another round for Warren Brinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
