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

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Kaimon Rucker, 40 picks early at the 111th pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. That Hancock pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 8th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in the 57th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in Round 3, Pick 10 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Kaimon Rucker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kaimon Rucker. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones in slot 114 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jah Joyner well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at the 146th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Seth McLaughlin. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
A slide stopped in the Round 7 slot, with Jordan Hancock worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
