Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B to prove it.

The war room fell hard for Michael Barrett, and it showed at the 165th overall pick: 24 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

They banked enough surplus on Jones to cover a lot of smaller sins. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman is a better player than slot 33 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at the 65th pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in Round 4, Pick 2, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They reached a country mile for Michael Barrett at the 165th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd6 AJ Barner
A wild overpay on AJ Barner in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They let Christian Jones come to them and pounced at pick 219. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
