Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B. The Panthers' one glaring miss is wide receiver, a need they left exactly as they found it. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
James Pearce Jr.
In slot 8 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at pick 57 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
