Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Panthers: B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Tony Rojas in the 196th pick, a good 165 spots before the room expected him. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Downs pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 16th overall pick they get an enforcer at safety, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Fair-plus on Sonny Styles, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 A.J. Harris
A slide stopped in No. 80, with A.J. Harris worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116 Rnd4 Drew Allar
A wild overpay on Drew Allar in pick 116, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
They jumped the gun on Jacob Rodriguez, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
They took Iapani Laloulu at par in pick No. 156, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick196 Rnd6 Tony Rojas
They reached a country mile for Tony Rojas at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231 Rnd7 Trebor Pena
Trebor Pena at pick No. 231 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
