Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureA+
The Panthers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Panthers did exactly that with Jake Majors in No. 74. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

However the rest shakes out, Burke at that price is a win they earned. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Jack Bech
A reach on Jack Bech in Round 2, Pick 24; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at pick 57 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the 111th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They let Tez Johnson come to them and pounced at pick No. 114. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
