Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B

A sensible, unshowy class lands the Panthers a B.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Panthers walked out of the weekend still thin at cornerback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

They went 2 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 LT Overton
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane at the 51st pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
