Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall

FutureF
Nobody dealt better than the Panthers this weekend: B-. The Beaux Collins selection is the head-turner. The Panthers reached 123 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.
On value alone, Dart makes the weekend a net positive. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 8 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick57
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts is a better player than No. 57 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58
Rnd2
Nic Scourton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nic Scourton at the Round 2 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick70
Rnd3
Jaxson Dart
They robbed the room for Jaxson Dart here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111
Rnd4
Devin Neal
They read the board right and Devin Neal was the payoff at slot 111. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 15, with Lathan Ransom worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick140
Rnd5
Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at No. 140 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in slot 146 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148
Rnd5
Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at the 148th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick153
Rnd5
Howard Cross III
They reached into another round for Howard Cross III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick163
Rnd5
Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne slipping to pick 163 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166
Rnd5
Kaimon Rucker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kaimon Rucker in the 166th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189
Rnd6
RJ Oben
They talked themselves into RJ Oben at pick No. 189, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick193
Rnd6
Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the 193rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick221
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac TeSlaa well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230
Rnd7
Cam Miller
Cam Miller at pick No. 230 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick233
Rnd7
Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson in slot 233 is fair value, right on his grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick236
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
No drama and no debate, Cam Jackson went about where he belonged in the 236th overall pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jimmy Horn Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jimmy Horn Jr. this early at Round 7, Pick 24. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick241
Rnd7
Beaux Collins
Beaux Collins in No. 241 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.
