Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB+ FutureB-
Jones should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. Sheridan Jones sat on the board until slot 250, and the Panthers did not need to be asked twice.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. The trade work was a quiet net positive. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
No edge and no loss on Ladd McConkey in slot 33; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick39 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at No. 39 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Nice patience on Xavier Worthy, who had no business lasting to the 65th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cole Bishop in Round 4, Pick 13. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Nothing to complain about; Jarrian Jones went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner in pick No. 166 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tatum Bethune at the Round 7 slot is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick250 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones at the 250th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
