Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Panthers: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Ahmed Hassanein at No. 163 is 73 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Simon.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
No drama and no debate, James Pearce Jr. went about where he belonged in the 8th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick57 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Donovan Jackson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jamaree Caldwell
A wild overpay on Jamaree Caldwell in slot 74, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jah Joyner
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jah Joyner well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in the 114th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jonas Sanker in the Round 5 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Nice patience on Cody Simon, who had no business lasting to the 146th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein in pick 163 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Carson Vinson in pick No. 230. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
