Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Panthers a B-.

Nobody else had Torricelli Simpkins III anywhere near pick No. 230. The Panthers did, by 38 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In No. 8 they get a problem off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson at pick 57 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in slot 74 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A straight-up fair deal on Denzel Burke at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at the 114th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
A wild overpay on Jah Joyner in pick No. 140, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They jumped the gun on Antwaun Powell-Ryland, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
They took Ben Sauls at par in pick 163, which is nothing to complain about. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Value said wait; Torricelli Simpkins III in pick No. 230 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
