Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureA+
The Panthers let James fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jordan James tumbling to the Panthers in the Round 5 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They will need Griffith to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Matthew Bergeron pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at the 21st overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick47 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
They let Isaiah Bond come to them and pounced at the 47th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at Round 3, Pick 7 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick107 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick 107 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in No. 111, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They barely believed it either: Andrew Mukuba still on the board at pick No. 125. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jordan James
You do not let a running back like Jordan James reach slot 147 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in the 222nd pick, miles early. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick233 Rnd7 DJ Uiagalelei
A real head-scratcher, DJ Uiagalelei in the 233rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit in No. 256 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
