Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C+
ValueA NeedB TradesF FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Panthers for Brooks: C+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tahj Brooks slide, and the Panthers were the ones holding the card at pick No. 217. Highway robbery. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In No. 14 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in pick 49 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick65 Rnd3 Luther Burden III
Circle this one: Luther Burden III at slot 65 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 DJ Campbell
They barely believed it either: DJ Campbell still on the board at the 80th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach pick No. 102 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at Round 5, Pick 1 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick143 Rnd5 Colston Loveland
The board fumbled Colston Loveland all the way to the 143rd pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jay Higgins in the 159th overall pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
They robbed the room for Tahj Brooks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jihaad Campbell
Steal is underselling it; Jihaad Campbell at No. 231 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
