Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Panthers won the night they stopped Dart from sliding. Grade: C.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jaxson Dart got past him. The Panthers do not have to explain a thing at the 97th pick.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The cost of the Baron reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Johnson
Will Johnson at the 7th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick30 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 30 they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at pick 50 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick97 Rnd4 Jaxson Dart
Taking Jaxson Dart in the 97th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
Value said wait; Nick Emmanwori in No. 113 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
A conviction pick on Billy Bowman Jr. at Round 5, Pick 6 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161 Rnd6 Javontez Spraggins
A reach on Javontez Spraggins in slot 161; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163 Rnd6 Tyler Baron
They talked themselves into Tyler Baron at No. 163, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tony Grimes at the 203rd overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
