Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers let Gordon II fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ollie Gordon II slide, and the Panthers were the ones holding the card at No. 248. Highway robbery.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They are betting Walker proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In slot 8 they get a green-dot type in the middle, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in pick 57 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A tidy little value on Deone Walker in the 74th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Taking Barrett Carter in the 109th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at No. 112 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 145 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Sonny Styles in Round 5, Pick 33, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Steal is underselling it; Seth McLaughlin at the 227th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
The board fumbled Ollie Gordon II all the way to the 248th pick, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
