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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Panthers watched Jarvis Brownlee Jr. slide 27 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 33 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Fair-plus on Ladd McConkey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in the 65th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
The board had Dominick Puni higher than Round 4, Pick 1, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at slot 166 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178 Rnd6 AJ Barner
A slide stopped in the 178th pick, with AJ Barner worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
