Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers won the night they stopped Paul Jr. from sliding. Grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Chris Paul Jr., the No. 80 name on the board, stolen at the Round 4 slot. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Reed reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 8th overall pick they get a problem off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in pick 57 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylin Noel at Round 3, Pick 10. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Somehow Chris Paul Jr. was still sitting there in the 111th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They did well to land Jordan Phillips in slot 114, just ahead of his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick140 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
You do not let a tight end like Terrance Ferguson reach pick No. 140 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
They reached into another round for Jaylen Reed, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick230 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Fair-plus on Ja'Quinden Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
