Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Panthers and Brooks: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jonathon Brooks, pick 101, roughly 36 picks past where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Nice patience on Keon Coleman, who had no business lasting to the 33rd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tyler Guyton
You do not let an offensive lineman like Tyler Guyton reach Round 3, Pick 1 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick101 Rnd4 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in pick 101 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick168 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Taking Cam Hart in the 168th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They barely believed it either: Edefuan Ulofoshio still on the board at pick No. 180. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand slid further than he should have, and No. 222 is lovely value for the linebacker. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
