Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Panthers get a C+.

There is reaching, and then there is Tyler Batty at Round 4, Pick 9. The Panthers jumped the board by 119 and dared it to prove them wrong. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Dumas-Johnson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jack Bech
They paid up for Jack Bech at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the 74th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tyler Batty
A big swing on Tyler Batty at pick 111, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jalen McLeod
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen McLeod this early at the 114th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
This one needs a full-page explanation: Quincy Riley in slot 140, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Fadil Diggs
A real head-scratcher, Fadil Diggs in the 146th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein in No. 163 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A quiet steal in the 230th pick: Jamon Dumas-Johnson for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
