Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB
The Panthers let Brooks fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Tahj Brooks tumbling to the Panthers in Round 7, Pick 8 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They are betting Rogers proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 19 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III slid further than he should have, and No. 47 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A reach on Kenneth Grant in pick No. 51; the board had better options right there. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
A big swing on Jalon Walker at the 71st pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at Round 3, Pick 19 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick107 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in pick 111 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
A tidy little value on Parker Brailsford in the 140th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick147 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at slot 147 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162 Rnd5 Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb at Round 5, Pick 24 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick196 Rnd6 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams in the 196th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
The board fumbled Tahj Brooks all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jeffrey Bassa
A straight-up fair deal on Jeffrey Bassa at No. 233, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick256 Rnd7 Will Rogers
Value said wait; Will Rogers in pick No. 256 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
