Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 102: the Panthers steal Fuaga and grade out a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Taliese Fuaga, Round 4, Pick 2, roughly 85 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 33 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick65 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in the 65th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Taliese Fuaga
They barely believed it either: Taliese Fuaga still on the board at the Round 4 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141 Rnd5 Malik Washington
The board fumbled Malik Washington all the way to Round 5, Pick 5, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at No. 167 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
They robbed the room for Grayson Murphy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jarrian Jones
Somehow Jarrian Jones was still sitting there in slot 230, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
