Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Panthers for James: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let DJ James slide, and the Panthers were the ones holding the card at pick No. 101. Highway robbery.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
No edge and no loss on Xavier Legette in the 39th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson slid further than he should have, and slot 65 is lovely value for the linebacker. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Fair-plus on Sedrick Van Pran, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101 Rnd4 DJ James
DJ James at the 101st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ray Davis
They will replay Ray Davis at pick 142 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Matt Goncalves
Somehow Matt Goncalves was still sitting there in No. 148, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 166 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240 Rnd7 Justin Rogers
They barely believed it either: Justin Rogers still on the board at the Round 7 slot. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
