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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Ahmed Hassanein in slot 199, a good 38 spots before the room expected him. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Brooks at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In No. 31 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They paid up for Maxwell Hairston at pick 63 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
They went early on Elijah Arroyo in pick No. 66, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A reach for Ozzy Trapilo in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They read the board right and Tez Johnson was the payoff at the 111th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tory Horton
A tidy little value on Tory Horton in the 114th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kobe King
No drama and no debate, Kobe King went about where he belonged in slot 127. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
They took Andres Borregales at par in No. 148, which is nothing to complain about. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick199 Rnd6 Ahmed Hassanein
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ahmed Hassanein in Round 6, Pick 23, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick230 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Somehow Tahj Brooks was still sitting there in the 230th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
