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

Call it larceny. Jaydn Ott sat on the board until the 198th overall pick, and the Panthers did not need to be asked twice. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II at pick No. 51 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick84 Rnd3 Taurean York
Taurean York in Round 3, Pick 20 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in the 119th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
Nice patience on Jalen Stroman, who had no business lasting to the 156th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick157 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Domani Jackson in No. 157. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Connor Tollison
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Connor Tollison. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott in pick 198 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jalen Huskey
Jalen Huskey slipping to slot 235 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Nothing to complain about; Jalon Daniels went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
