Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
The Panthers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Panthers spent real capital to be 19 picks early on Darien Porter, and the board is going to hold them to it. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Jackson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mike Green
In pick No. 14 they get a problem off the edge, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Good price on Xavier Watts in Round 2, Pick 17, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick57 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A big swing on Darien Porter at pick 57, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in the 74th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at No. 114 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick146 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick 146 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Fair-plus on Mitchell Evans, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in slot 193 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Shemar James
A reach for Shemar James in the 230th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Ja'Quinden Jackson in Round 7, Pick 24 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
