Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Panthers to a D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Panthers did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

Jean-Baptiste has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with safety and quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 29 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
They took Jonathon Brooks at par in slot 46, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in No. 97 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went OLB-EDGE with Javon Solomon while clear needs at safety and quarterback sat open.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
No drama and no debate, Tommy Eichenberg went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 5. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
By-the-book stuff, Javion Cohen at the 165th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A clean, defensible pick in pick 172 with a little surplus value in Luke McCaffrey. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at slot 177 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick210 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
They left a pile of value on the table to take Javontae Jean-Baptiste this early at pick 210. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
