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

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Panthers left offensive lineman untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The cost of the Coker reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Landing Laube that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A tidy little value on Brian Thomas Jr. in pick 33, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Robinson at Round 2, Pick 7, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They read the board right and Payton Wilson was the payoff at the 65th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick No. 101 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
The board had Dylan Laube higher than No. 166, and the running back fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
A premium they did not need to pay, Jalen Coker a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
