Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Panthers: B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Panthers took Jaheim Bell a full 21 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Phillips pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid sticker price for Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 33, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in Round 3, Pick 1 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
A quiet steal in the 101st pick: Andru Phillips for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick142 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke McCaffrey. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
They reached into another round for Jaheim Bell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
