Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B to prove it.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Tez Johnson, the No. 169 name on the board, stolen at the 216th overall pick.

Every board in the league had Prieskorn lower, and that gap is the story. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, James Pearce Jr. in slot 38. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jackson in the 66th overall pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in pick 102 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jonah Coleman
They jumped the gun on Jonah Coleman, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Mansoor Delane
Somehow Mansoor Delane was still sitting there in the 156th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd6 Nic Anderson
The board fumbled Nic Anderson all the way to No. 178, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd7 Tez Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Tez Johnson at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick234 Rnd7 Caden Prieskorn
Caden Prieskorn in pick No. 234 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
