Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B.

The Panthers torched the value chart for Jaheim Bell, taking him 22 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Brian Thomas Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick39 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They jumped the gun on T.J. Tampa, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in the 65th overall pick with a little surplus value in Payton Wilson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zak Zinter. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at Round 5, Pick 6 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
They paid sticker price for Dillon Johnson in the 166th pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight in pick 240 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
