Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D

A costly weekend of dealing drags the Panthers to a D.

The Panthers went off the board in a big way for Curtis Jacobs, 51 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga in Round 2, Pick 1 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick34 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
No edge and no loss on Nate Wiggins in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
A reach on Adisa Isaac in No. 89; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at pick No. 101 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 James Williams
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in pick 125. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
They reached a country mile for Curtis Jacobs at slot 153, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jase McClellan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jase McClellan well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at Round 6, Pick 7 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
They paid a round early for Joshua Gray in the 222nd overall pick, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick254 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A big swing on Matthew Jones at pick 254, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
