Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Oluwafemi Oladejo; the Panthers did not wait, grabbing him 98 spots ahead at pick No. 140. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Landing Ferguson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 8th pick they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at the Round 2 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
They let Elic Ayomanor come to them and pounced at No. 74. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick 111 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They paid sticker price for Joshua Farmer in Round 4, Pick 12, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick140 Rnd5 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A real head-scratcher, Oluwafemi Oladejo in the 140th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Aeneas Peebles in the 146th pick. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick163 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
Steal is underselling it; Terrance Ferguson at No. 163 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick227 Rnd7 John Williams
They liked John Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 227. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
