Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B- to prove it.

The Panthers torched the value chart for Khyree Jackson, taking him 44 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Nothing to complain about; Troy Franklin went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick51 Rnd2 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 51 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at No. 65 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They let Mike Sainristil come to them and pounced at the 84th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Beaux Limmer
A real head-scratcher, Beaux Limmer in pick No. 88 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick101 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 101st pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick142 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
They liked Dylan Laube enough to skip the value, taking him in the 142nd overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166 Rnd5 Tip Reiman
They paid a round early for Tip Reiman in Round 5, Pick 30, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick178 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
No drama and no debate, Ty'Ron Hopper went about where he belonged in pick 178. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Marcellas Dial
By-the-book stuff, Marcellas Dial at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
