Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers did enough to get by: C.

The Eric O'Neill selection is the head-turner. The Panthers reached 109 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Call it a C and check back in two years.

Landing Romaine that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

If Joshua Josephs and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Joshua Josephs
In No. 10 they get a disruptor off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
They reached into another round for Kenyatta Jackson Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Eric O'Neill
They talked themselves into Eric O'Neill at slot 76, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Braylan Shelby
Braylan Shelby in Round 4, Pick 11 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Austin Romaine
A slide stopped in pick 149, with Austin Romaine worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick162 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
They read the board right and Aaron Anderson was the payoff at pick No. 162. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick192 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
The board had Oscar Delp higher than pick No. 192, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick230 Rnd7 James Smith
No edge and no loss on James Smith in pick 230; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
