Lilkingti DRAFTING FOR THEPanthers

Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall

FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Panthers to a D-. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Panthers did exactly that with Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick 197. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. That McGlothern pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey in the 33rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at pick No. 65 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick 81 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
They went early on Isaac Guerendo in the 97th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
They paid up for Mekhi Wingo at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick107
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 107th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120
Rnd4
James Williams
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 20. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
A tidy little value on Jaylin Simpson in No. 141, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in pick 145; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at slot 165 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
Nothing to complain about; Javion Cohen went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
A wild overpay on Myles Murphy in pick No. 180, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick184
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
Nice patience on Dwight McGlothern, who had no business lasting to the 184th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 197th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
