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

The Panthers went off the board in a big way for Jalen Thompson, 100 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Davis. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 10th pick they get a rangy last line of defense, and a steal at that.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ty Simpson
By-the-book stuff, Ty Simpson at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jack Endries
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jack Endries in No. 76, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Caleb Tiernan
Somehow Caleb Tiernan was still sitting there in pick No. 111, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
Sammy Omosigho at the 149th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162 Rnd5 J.C. Davis
Steal is underselling it; J.C. Davis at Round 5, Pick 23 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jalen Thompson
They reached a country mile for Jalen Thompson at No. 192, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Kamran James
A real head-scratcher, Kamran James in the 230th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
