Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Panthers started one anyway for Jared Wiley, 25 picks ahead of schedule.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wright falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin is a better player than No. 33 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No drama and no debate, Trey Benson went about where he belonged in the 65th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They took Khyree Jackson at par in Round 4, Pick 1, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
A slide stopped in pick No. 168, with Jaylen Wright worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in slot 180 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They reached a country mile for Matthew Jones at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
