Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Panthers won the night they stopped Jones from sliding. Grade: C+.

The board owed the Panthers one, and it paid up: Jarrian Jones, the No. 136 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 5 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The cost of the Thomas reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Legette in the 42nd pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick49 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A conviction pick on Payton Wilson at pick No. 49 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard slid further than he should have, and slot 59 is lovely value for the safety. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
They read the board right and Zach Frazier was the payoff at the 70th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A real head-scratcher, Christian Mahogany in No. 79 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They did well to land Mike Sainristil in Round 3, Pick 17, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They reached into another round for Tommy Eichenberg, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher slipping to the 128th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
They paid up for Luke McCaffrey at pick No. 134 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick142 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
They reached a country mile for Xavier Thomas at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Davis at No. 149 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
They paid sticker price for Jaheim Bell in Round 5, Pick 30, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Taking Jarrian Jones in the 170th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick175 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tykee Smith at pick 175 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan in slot 237 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
They robbed the room for JD Bertrand here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
