Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Panthers' one glaring miss is cornerback, a need they left exactly as they found it. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Kamara reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They banked enough surplus on Franklin to cover a lot of smaller sins.

On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
They read the board right and Troy Franklin was the payoff at No. 33. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They did well to land Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 65th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A reach for Mohamed Kamara in the 102nd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
A straight-up fair deal on Dallin Holker at pick No. 141, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick 165 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
By-the-book stuff, Delmar Glaze at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
