Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B- to prove it.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Panthers would have aced it. Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at pick 163 is 30 spots clear of where he belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in slot 57 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Value said wait; Ashton Gillotte in pick 74 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
The board had cheaper options than Jacob Parrish at Round 4, Pick 9, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They reached a country mile for Oluwafemi Oladejo at No. 114, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at the 140th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
They paid up for Jah Joyner at pick No. 146 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins this early at the Round 5 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Shemar James
A reach on Shemar James in pick 230; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
