Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Panthers won the night they stopped Jackson from sliding. Grade: B+.

The Panthers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Khyree Jackson, the No. 95 name on the board, in pick 235. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Marvin Harrison Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 33 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Joe Alt
Taking Joe Alt in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick65 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Value with a capital V on Adisa Isaac in pick 65, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick101 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
They barely believed it either: Payton Wilson still on the board at pick No. 101. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick166 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
Nothing to complain about; Hunter Nourzad went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy in Round 6, Pick 4 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235 Rnd7 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 235th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick240 Rnd7 Erick All
Erick All at the 240th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
