Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Panthers for Kilgore: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jalon Kilgore at No. 158 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The cost of the Ponds reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 13 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
You do not let an edge rusher like Caleb Banks reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at Round 3, Pick 14 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
No edge and no loss on Monroe Freeling in the 113th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick156 Rnd5 Carson Beck
Carson Beck at pick 156 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jalon Kilgore
Circle this one: Jalon Kilgore at the 158th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194 Rnd6 Darius Taylor
Darius Taylor at slot 194 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230 Rnd7 Bear Alexander
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bear Alexander. It adds depth where they could use a little.
