Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers won the night they stopped Rosemy-Jacksaint from sliding. Grade: B.

When a board-topper like Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint slides to the Round 7 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Panthers did not. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with edge rusher, safety and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They did well to land Graham Barton in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in Round 2, Pick 7, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Nothing to complain about; T.J. Tampa went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cedric Gray. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went OLB-EDGE with Javon Solomon while clear needs at edge rusher, safety and other spots sat open.
Pick139 Rnd5 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in No. 139 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They will replay Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick 222 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
