Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall

ValueF

FutureB+
The Panthers reached for Davis and never recovered. Grade: F. The Panthers clearly saw something nobody else did in Jordan Davis, taking him 143 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. The warnings were there, and the F is the bill.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They banked enough surplus on Jones to cover a lot of smaller sins. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Audric Estime
In pick 32 they get a lead back with juice, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick72
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in slot 72 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick78
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at No. 78 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick101
Rnd4
Cam Hart
The board had cheaper options than Cam Hart at pick No. 101, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118
Rnd4
Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in Round 4, Pick 18 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Luke McCaffrey well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122
Rnd4
JD Bertrand
They talked themselves into JD Bertrand at No. 122, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135
Rnd4
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Javontae Jean-Baptiste. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136
Rnd4
Sam Hartman
A real head-scratcher, Sam Hartman in Round 4, Pick 36 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Steal is underselling it; Christian Jones at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165
Rnd5
Nathan Thomas
A wild overpay on Nathan Thomas in pick No. 165, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at the 178th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jaden Crumedy
They went early on Jaden Crumedy in the 189th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick195
Rnd6
Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at slot 195 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Frank Gore Jr. this early at pick No. 200. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick205
Rnd6
Jordan Davis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Davis in slot 205, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236
Rnd7
Jacoby Windmon
Jacoby Windmon at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240
Rnd7
Ethan Driskell
No drama and no debate, Ethan Driskell went about where he belonged in No. 240. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241
Rnd7
Ajou Ajou
Value said wait; Ajou Ajou in the 241st overall pick says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247
Rnd7
Michael Jurgens
Michael Jurgens in Round 7, Pick 27 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249
Rnd7
Akeem Dent
They reached into another round for Akeem Dent, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256
Rnd7
Trey Knox
They reached a country mile for Trey Knox at pick 256, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick257
Rnd7
Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
