Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
Jackson should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Panthers were there to profit. Domani Jackson, the No. 116 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 145. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In the 11th pick they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman slid further than he should have, and the 33rd overall pick is lovely value for the safety. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in slot 38 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in No. 70 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Aamil Wagner
They paid sticker price for Aamil Wagner in Round 4, Pick 4, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at pick No. 145 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 Austin Romaine
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Austin Romaine at pick 147 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
They barely believed it either: Xavier Nwankpa still on the board at the Round 7 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
