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

Nobody had Jaheim Bell this high, and it is not close. The Panthers reached 24 spots to get him at the Round 5 slot.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Carson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

The Solomon pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, safety and other spots. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
They took Jermaine Burton at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the 65th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A straight-up fair deal on Zak Zinter at pick 106, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in the 109th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
A curious use of No. 118. Edge rusher, safety and other spots needed the pick; an OLB-EDGE in Javon Solomon did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
They talked themselves into Jaheim Bell at Round 5, Pick 3, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at slot 141 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
They paid up for Kamal Hadden at No. 150 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
They read the board right and Jacob Cowing was the payoff at the 156th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in pick 165 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
They paid sticker price for Jordan Jefferson in Round 6, Pick 5, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
