Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers cashed the board's mistake on Jones Jr.: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Emery Jones Jr., the No. 129 name on the board, stolen at the 147th overall pick. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They are betting Walker proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 8th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 57th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74 Rnd3 Darien Porter
No edge and no loss on Darien Porter in pick No. 74; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malachi Moore at Round 4, Pick 9 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Good price on Jake Majors in pick 113, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kyren Lacy in the Round 5 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in slot 147 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales in No. 164 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks in slot 229 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
