Good, not great, for the Panthers: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jawhar Jordan at pick No. 180 is 22 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with cornerback, safety and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jordan Morgan in pick 33. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 65th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick101 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Solomon at OLB-EDGE with cornerback, safety and other spots open.
Pick168 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Curtis Jacobs. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jawhar Jordan this early at the Round 6 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris in No. 222 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
