Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Panthers to a B.

The phones were a trap the Panthers kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Landing Brownlee Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. The Byrd pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick54 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Keon Coleman at slot 54 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
They did well to land Zach Frazier in the 65th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 79 with a little surplus value in Cade Stover. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the 128th pick, where Jarvis Brownlee Jr. graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
A premium they did not need to pay, Solomon Byrd a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
Donovan Jennings is a better player than Round 7, Pick 28 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
