Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueF NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Panthers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The Panthers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Ty French at the 74th overall pick regardless, 349 picks early.

They banked enough surplus on Gillotte to cover a lot of smaller sins. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The veteran additions, Jaire Alexander chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 Quincy Riley
A wild overpay on Quincy Riley in the 57th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the Round 2 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ty French
Ty French in Round 3, Pick 10 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 86 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Ethan Downs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ethan Downs well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in slot 146 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ashton Gillotte
Steal is underselling it; Ashton Gillotte at pick 174 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Rayuan Lane III
Rayuan Lane III at Round 6, Pick 28 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jah Joyner
Circle this one: Jah Joyner at slot 217 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230 Rnd7 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Taking Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
