Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedA- TradesC+ FutureA+
The Panthers let James fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. DJ James at Round 4, Pick 1 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The Eichenberg reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey in slot 39 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in pick 89. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101 Rnd4 DJ James
Taking DJ James in Round 4, Pick 1 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick107 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A big swing on Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Renardo Green
The board fumbled Renardo Green all the way to No. 125, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 142nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
The board had cheaper options than Layden Robinson at pick No. 166, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A conviction pick on Kimani Vidal at the 240th pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
