Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Panthers and Castro: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Sebastian Castro at the 146th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Jones has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick 8 they get a bendy edge with upside, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
The board had cheaper options than Jalen Royals at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
They paid sticker price for Chris Paul Jr. in the 74th pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
They paid a round early for Jacob Parrish in Round 4, Pick 9, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
A big swing on Sai'vion Jones at the 114th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick140 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in No. 140 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick146 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
Somehow Sebastian Castro was still sitting there in slot 146, and they pounced on premier safety value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick No. 163 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick230 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
A swing that ignored the value entirely, CJ Dippre well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
