Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The Jones reach set a tone the Panthers could not shake: F.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Christian Jones; the Panthers did not wait, grabbing him 35 spots ahead at Round 5, Pick 19.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left linebacker open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
A straight-up fair deal on Terrion Arnold at pick 18, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick25 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in slot 25, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick33 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
No drama and no debate, Chop Robinson went about where he belonged in No. 33. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
By-the-book stuff, Kiran Amegadjie at the 48th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the 65th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick114 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
A quiet steal in pick No. 114: Dominick Puni for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the 115th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in Round 5, Pick 19 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick168 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick195 Rnd6 Isaiah Neyor
The board had cheaper options than Isaiah Neyor at pick No. 195, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A reach on Matthew Jones in No. 222; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
