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

The Panthers torched the value chart for Kamran James, taking him 26 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is York.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In pick 19 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson at the 51st pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Taurean York
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Taurean York at the 83rd overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Logan Jones
The board had cheaper options than Logan Jones at slot 119, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
A big swing on Gracen Halton at pick No. 156, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick157 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
A straight-up fair deal on Aamil Wagner at No. 157, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings in slot 198 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kamran James
They reached a country mile for Kamran James at No. 235, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
