Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedB+
TradesC
FutureA+
The Panthers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. The Panthers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 5, Pick 8 on Oscar Delp a full 28 spots early. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jackson. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.
Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Tre Harris
In slot 15 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
No drama and no debate, Xavier Watts went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick66
Rnd3
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at Round 3, Pick 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
A clean, defensible pick in No. 73 with a little surplus value in Jalon Walker. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74
Rnd3
Drew Allar
Fair-plus on Drew Allar, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick102
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in pick 102 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109
Rnd4
Josaiah Stewart
They went early on Josaiah Stewart in the 109th pick, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110
Rnd4
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in pick No. 110 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jack Bech
No edge and no loss on Jack Bech in slot 142; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146
Rnd5
Oscar Delp
They talked themselves into Oscar Delp at pick 146, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick234
Rnd7
Oronde Gadsden II
They jumped the gun on Oronde Gadsden II, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
