Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers let Ransom fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Lathan Ransom got past him. The Panthers do not have to explain a thing at Round 5, Pick 2.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Walker has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 8th pick they get a three-down second-level presence, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
The board had cheaper options than Donovan Ezeiruaku at slot 57, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Darien Porter
No drama and no debate, Darien Porter went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 10. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kevin Winston Jr. in the 110th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Tez Johnson graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick141 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
They robbed the room for Lathan Ransom here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Taking Joshua Farmer in pick No. 147 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick164 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
They paid sticker price for Chase Lundt in pick 164, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
