Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Panthers to a C.

The Panthers went off the board in a big way for Curtis Jacobs, 47 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The final tally is a middling C.

That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at Round 2, Pick 16 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick55 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at pick 55 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick62 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the 62nd overall pick is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No drama and no debate, Khyree Jackson went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Roger Rosengarten. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick101 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in No. 101 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in pick 121 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jared Wiley
No edge and no loss on Jared Wiley in pick No. 136; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They jumped the gun on Luke McCaffrey, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141 Rnd5 James Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: James Williams in Round 5, Pick 5, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
They reached a country mile for Curtis Jacobs at the 142nd pick, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175 Rnd5 Michael Pratt
Circle this one: Michael Pratt at No. 175 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick190 Rnd6 Blake Watson
A conviction pick on Blake Watson at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Owens at the 240th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
