Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
James should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Panthers watched DJ James slide 48 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. They went 3 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
No drama and no debate, Jackson Powers-Johnson went about where he belonged in the 33rd overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick39 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick65 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Haynes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101 Rnd4 DJ James
Steal is underselling it; DJ James at Round 4, Pick 1 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick142 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
They took Trevor Keegan at par in No. 142, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Value with a capital V on Kitan Oladapo in pick No. 166, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Taking Sheridan Jones in the 240th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
