Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Panthers a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Panthers started one anyway for Elijah Roberts, 43 picks ahead of schedule.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In slot 8 they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at Round 2, Pick 25 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
They reached into another round for Ashton Gillotte, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jaylin Lane
They paid a round early for Jaylin Lane in pick 111, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
They paid up for Dorian Strong at pick No. 114 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
A real head-scratcher, Elijah Roberts in No. 140 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at the 146th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
A conviction pick on Jonah Monheim at Round 5, Pick 25 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
They paid sticker price for Akili Arnold in No. 230, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
