Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
A-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Panthers worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. The Panthers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jordan Travis at slot 93 regardless, 80 picks early. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Panthers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
In the end it comes back to Jordan Morgan, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in the 35th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick42
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in slot 42 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick43
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
No edge and no loss on Chris Braswell in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at pick No. 47 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick48
Rnd2
Kamari Lassiter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kamari Lassiter in pick 48. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick49
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at Round 2, Pick 17 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick51
Rnd2
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in pick No. 51 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick53
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
They jumped the gun on Zach Frazier, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick54
Rnd2
Kiran Amegadjie
They liked Kiran Amegadjie enough to skip the value, taking him in the 54th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
No drama and no debate, Braden Fiske went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick61
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in No. 61 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick63
Rnd2
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the 63rd overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick64
Rnd2
Austin Booker
They paid a round early for Austin Booker in slot 64, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
They reached a country mile for Dominick Puni at Round 3, Pick 1, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kris Abrams-Draine
They went early on Kris Abrams-Draine in slot 66, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick No. 76 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
They talked themselves into Ben Sinnott at pick 89, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Mason McCormick
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mason McCormick in Round 3, Pick 27, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93
Rnd3
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
