Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Richard Jibunor at pick No. 222 is 92 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. Beebe at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
No edge and no loss on Nate Wiggins in slot 33; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe slid further than he should have, and No. 65 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick101 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the 101st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They went early on Jonah Monheim in pick 138, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the 168th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick182 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
They paid up for Darius Robinson at Round 6, Pick 7 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor at the 222nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
