Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureB
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B to prove it.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Panthers would have aced it. Nick Gargiulo at pick 239 is 42 spots clear of where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Getting Ford where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold in the 33rd overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brian Thomas Jr. at slot 39. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Ray Davis in Round 4, Pick 1 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
A wild overpay on Braiden McGregor in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
The board had cheaper options than Jaheim Bell at the 150th pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Value said wait; Jordan Jefferson in pick 166 says they were not listening. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylen Harrell
They reached a country mile for Jaylen Harrell at pick No. 168, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Nick Gargiulo
A real head-scratcher, Nick Gargiulo in the 239th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
The board fumbled Jaylan Ford all the way to slot 240, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
