Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D+
ValueF NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
A weekend the Panthers will want back. Grade: D+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jake Smith, 278 picks early at the Round 4 slot. Too much went sideways, and the D+ is the honest tally.

Getting Rucker where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

The Trey Hendrickson pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 Dayon Hayes
Dayon Hayes at pick No. 57 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Mike Green
They barely believed it either: Mike Green still on the board at slot 74. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jake Smith
A big swing on Jake Smith at the 111th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at Round 4, Pick 12 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140 Rnd5 Ethan Downs
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ethan Downs. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick146 Rnd5 Brandon Adams
They reached into another round for Brandon Adams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jasheen Davis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jasheen Davis well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker at the 230th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
