Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Panthers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Panthers torched the value chart for Jaheim Bell, taking him 22 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

On value alone, Brooks makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell slipping to pick No. 39 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
The board had Jonathon Brooks higher than No. 65, and the running back fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick100 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Nothing to complain about; Khyree Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in slot 101. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at pick 139 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in No. 142 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at the 152nd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A reach on Jordan Jefferson in slot 166; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick240 Rnd7 Marcellas Dial
Marcellas Dial at the 240th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
