Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers did enough to get by: C.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jay'Vion Cole in the Round 2 slot, a good 161 spots before the room expected him.

They banked enough surplus on Lacy to cover a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

If Brandon Baker and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Brandon Baker
In the 19th pick they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jay'Vion Cole
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jay'Vion Cole. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick83 Rnd3 Ben Roberts
Ben Roberts in Round 3, Pick 19 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 D'Antre Robinson
They talked themselves into D'Antre Robinson at the 119th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick156 Rnd5 Ian Strong
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ian Strong in No. 156, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jelani McDonald
They will replay Jelani McDonald at pick No. 157 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Kewan Lacy
Circle this one: Kewan Lacy at the 198th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 Braelin Moore
Braelin Moore in No. 235 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
