Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Panthers let Mondon Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Smael Mondon Jr. had no business being available in No. 141, and the Panthers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The cost of the Gordon II reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In slot 25 they get a three-down second-level presence. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They paid sticker price for Alfred Collins in No. 58, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick74 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Good price on Andrew Mukuba in the 74th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at pick 110 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Circle this one: Tez Johnson at pick No. 113 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the 127th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick141 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 5, Pick 2 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Value with a capital V on Jonah Monheim in No. 164, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
Brant Kuithe at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
