Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Panthers: B-.

The Panthers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Eric O'Neill at Round 6, Pick 19 regardless, 64 picks early. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Tyson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a matchup problem out wide, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 LT Overton
They jumped the gun on LT Overton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick83 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Nothing to complain about; Julian Neal went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
Malachi Lawrence at slot 119 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick156 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kyle Louis in the 156th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick157 Rnd5 Albert Regis
Albert Regis at pick No. 157 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick198 Rnd6 Eric O'Neill
Value said wait; Eric O'Neill in Round 6, Pick 19 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tyler Onyedim
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Onyedim this early at the 235th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
