Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Panthers worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

Whoever sat across the table from the Panthers should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Pritchett pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick101 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the 101st overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick138 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
The board had Nehemiah Pritchett higher than the Round 5 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Will Shipley
They did well to land Will Shipley in pick 164, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They let Kamal Hadden come to them and pounced at slot 180. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 DeWayne Carter
Fair-plus on DeWayne Carter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
