Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Panthers shredded theirs for Richard Jibunor. He came off 102 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Washington falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A straight-up fair deal on Troy Franklin at pick 33, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
A slide stopped in the 65th overall pick, with Edgerrin Cooper worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101 Rnd4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the Round 4 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in slot 142 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166 Rnd5 Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor at Round 5, Pick 30 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in the 222nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
They will replay Sheridan Jones at Round 7, Pick 20 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
