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

Everything else got attention, and safety got none. That is a strange way for the Panthers to leave a draft. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Shipley value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If All pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Taliese Fuaga in the 33rd overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick65 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke slid further than he should have, and pick No. 65 is lovely value for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138 Rnd5 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at the 138th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick164 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in slot 164 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Will Shipley
The board had Will Shipley higher than No. 180, and the running back fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Erick All
A conviction pick on Erick All at pick 222 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
