Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesC+ FutureA+
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B+.

The Panthers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 123 on Justin Eboigbe a full 56 spots early.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Rice.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
They paid sticker price for Troy Franklin in Round 2, Pick 1, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Taking Brenden Rice in pick No. 101 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in the 119th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in slot 168 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune slid further than he should have, and the 217th overall pick is lovely value for the linebacker. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
The board had cheaper options than Matthew Jones at No. 222, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones at the 232nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
