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

Call it larceny. Jaylan Ford sat on the board until the 240th overall pick, and the Panthers did not need to be asked twice. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in No. 33 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick46 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Taking Brian Thomas Jr. in pick 46 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at slot 65 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick100 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They robbed the room for Mike Sainristil here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malik Washington at the 101st pick is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ben Sinnott at the 142nd overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 151, where Jaylin Simpson graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the Round 5 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Nothing to complain about; Zion Tupuola-Fetui went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
Somehow Jaylan Ford was still sitting there in pick 240, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
