Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Panthers bled value on every deal, hence the D.

Nobody had Collin Schlee this high, and it is not close. The Panthers reached 51 spots to get him at No. 222. Put together, it is a D.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Jones to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The veteran additions, A.J. Terrell chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 27 they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the 82nd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Nothing to complain about; Zak Zinter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
They liked Shemar Turner enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 130. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell slipping to No. 148 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ainias Smith at the 172nd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Julian Pearl
A market-rate OT-EDGE, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Julian Pearl. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
A straight-up fair deal on Jacob Cowing at Round 6, Pick 5, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in slot 207 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Collin Schlee
They left a pile of value on the table to take Collin Schlee this early at the Round 7 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
Value said wait; Chad Lindberg in pick 235 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
