Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B- to prove it.

The Jase McClellan pick is the one that will follow the Panthers into the fall. They took him 76 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

However the rest shakes out, Trotter Jr. at that price is a win they earned. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They jumped the gun on Xavier Worthy, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at slot 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
They let Zach Frazier come to them and pounced at the 65th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick101 Rnd4 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jase McClellan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jase McClellan in the 141st pick, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jamari Thrash. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Trente Jones
Trente Jones at Round 7, Pick 20 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
