Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Panthers.

The Panthers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 72 on Javon Solomon a full 37 spots early. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They banked enough surplus on Pritchett to cover a lot of smaller sins. It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Panthers had louder needs to answer first. They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 6 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
The board had Brian Thomas Jr. higher than the Round 2 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick46 Rnd2 Austin Booker
A wild overpay on Austin Booker in Round 2, Pick 14, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 72 on Javon Solomon with offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick101 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
No edge and no loss on DeWayne Carter in pick 101; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick157 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Somehow Nehemiah Pritchett was still sitting there in pick No. 157, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at slot 200 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in pick 240 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
