Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Panthers for James: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Panthers were there to profit. Jordan James, the No. 123 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 229.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at pick 57 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at No. 74 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Deone Walker
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 110 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick113 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They robbed the room for Demetrius Knight Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 147th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick164 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Circle this one: Luke Kandra at slot 164 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jordan James
The board fumbled Jordan James all the way to the 229th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
