Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Braelon Allen at slot 101, a reach of 50 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They banked enough surplus on Simpson to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Nice patience on Terrion Arnold, who had no business lasting to No. 33. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A quiet steal in pick 65: Jackson Powers-Johnson for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick101 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A real head-scratcher, Braelon Allen in the 101st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
You do not let a cornerback like Jaylin Simpson reach the 168th pick and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in Round 6, Pick 5 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
A slide stopped in pick No. 222, with Sheridan Jones worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
