Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Panthers.

The needs board said one thing and the Panthers did another, using the Round 4 slot on Javon Solomon while linebacker, edge rusher and other spots waited.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Fiske.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A clean, defensible pick in slot 33 with a little surplus value in Graham Barton. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick39 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
They did well to land Keon Coleman in No. 39, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske slipping to the 65th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick114 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
Of all the spots to shop, they chose OLB-EDGE. Javon Solomon in the Round 4 slot leaves linebacker, edge rusher and other spots for later.
Pick142 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
They let Chau Smith-Wade come to them and pounced at slot 142. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dallin Holker in Round 5, Pick 30. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
