Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers cashed the board's mistake on Jones: B.

Everything else got attention, and linebacker got none. That is a strange way for the Panthers to leave a draft.

On value alone, Jones makes the weekend a net positive. Kamara has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Fair-plus on Brian Thomas Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Kingsley Suamataia graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They went early on Mohamed Kamara in No. 101, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick168 Rnd5 Trey Knox
They liked Trey Knox enough to skip the value, taking him in the 168th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at pick No. 180 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Steal is underselling it; Myles Jones at the 222nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
