Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Panthers a B.

The Panthers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 108th pick on Braelon Allen a full 51 spots early.

The Jones pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
A reach on Ja'Lynn Polk in the 47th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They paid a round early for Cooper Beebe in pick No. 65, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A clean, defensible pick in the 82nd pick with a little surplus value in Malachi Corley. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in pick 102; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Austin Booker
No drama and no debate, Austin Booker went about where he belonged in slot 165. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
The board had cheaper options than Michael Barrett at the 180th overall pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185 Rnd6 Javon Baker
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Baker at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd6 Christian Jones
The board had Christian Jones higher than slot 219, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
