Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Panthers: B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Panthers took Ethan Downs a full 119 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Johnson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 8th pick they get a problem off the edge, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
The board had cheaper options than Kyle Kennard at Round 2, Pick 25, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
No drama and no debate, Maxwell Hairston went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They let Tez Johnson come to them and pounced at slot 111. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Que Robinson
They reached into another round for Que Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
A big swing on Elijah Roberts at pick 140, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A swing that ignored the value entirely, JJ Pegues well ahead of where he belonged. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs in slot 163 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in Round 7, Pick 14 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
