Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Panthers cashed the board's mistake on Nourzad: C.

Somebody took the Panthers to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. It washes out to a C, no better and no worse.

Getting Nourzad where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. Davis has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Hit on Brian Thomas Jr. and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 19 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in Round 2, Pick 7 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd4 DJ James
Value with a capital V on DJ James in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105 Rnd4 Brandon Coleman
By-the-book stuff, Brandon Coleman at slot 105 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
A straight-up fair deal on Jalyx Hunt at the 128th pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
They robbed the room for Hunter Nourzad here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick142 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at pick No. 142 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick240 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at Round 7, Pick 20 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
