Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Panthers get a C+.

The Panthers did not so much draft Oluwafemi Oladejo as overpay for him, 124 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. The final tally is a middling C+.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Noel to cover a lot of smaller sins.

If Landon Jackson and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a premier pass rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in the 57th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Value said wait; Ashton Gillotte in the 74th pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at slot 111 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick No. 114 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140 Rnd5 Fadil Diggs
A big swing on Fadil Diggs at pick 140, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ahmed Hassanein
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ahmed Hassanein this early at pick No. 146. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Davin Vann
A real head-scratcher, Davin Vann in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the 227th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
