Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
D-
ValueB-
NeedB+
TradesF
FutureD+
The phones sank the Panthers this weekend: D-. Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Panthers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. Reaching for Knox left real value on the table behind him. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and linebacker is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Quinyon Mitchell. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick33
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in the 33rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick37
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
They paid sticker price for Chop Robinson in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick49
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
They read the board right and Tyler Guyton was the payoff at No. 49. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick65
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
A clean, defensible pick in slot 65 with a little surplus value in Zach Frazier. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick101
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in pick 101 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick107
Rnd4
DJ James
No edge and no loss on DJ James in Round 4, Pick 7; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick141
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
A slide stopped in pick No. 141, with Justin Eboigbe worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175
Rnd5
Trey Knox
They liked Trey Knox enough to skip the value, taking him in the 175th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylen Harrell in the Round 6 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick255
Rnd7
Phil Jurkovec
They took Phil Jurkovec at par in slot 255, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
