Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers robbed the room for Burnip. Final grade: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. James Burnip at No. 230 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Monheim reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the Round 1 slot they get the heartbeat of the defense, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A tidy little value on Trey Amos in the 57th pick, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at slot 74 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Miles Frazier
A straight-up fair deal on Miles Frazier at No. 111, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
The board had cheaper options than Jamaree Caldwell at the 114th overall pick, and it noticed. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick140 Rnd5 Kaimon Rucker
They jumped the gun on Kaimon Rucker, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jonah Monheim in pick No. 146, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jah Joyner in Round 5, Pick 25. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230 Rnd7 James Burnip
A top-tier specialist at a bargain, James Burnip in pick No. 230, plain and simple. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
