Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC FutureA
The Panthers cashed the board's mistake on James: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. DJ James at pick No. 101 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They took Xavier Legette at par in the 39th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Ja'Tavion Sanders
You do not let a tight end like Ja'Tavion Sanders reach the 65th pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101 Rnd4 DJ James
DJ James in slot 101 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
A reasonable price with a little left over, James Williams in Round 4, Pick 28. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick 134 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick142 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick No. 142 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Trevor Keegan in No. 166, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
