Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Panthers put a flag in the ground for Davin Vann, 39 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick 8 they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They took Alfred Collins at par in Round 2, Pick 25, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick74 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah Bond at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Denzel Burke. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in slot 114 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140 Rnd5 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker in pick No. 140 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Barryn Sorrell well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
They went early on Elijah Roberts in pick 163, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230 Rnd7 Davin Vann
Davin Vann at the 230th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
