Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Panthers took Jalen Travis at pick 241, roughly 47 spots before his name belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Landing Royals that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick 8 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They paid sticker price for Alfred Collins in Round 2, Pick 25, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
They robbed the room for Jalen Royals here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the 101st pick with a little surplus value in Kevin Winston Jr.. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Value with a capital V on Tai Felton in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Oluwafemi Oladejo this early at the 114th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They liked Antwaun Powell-Ryland enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 140. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
You do not let a quarterback like Dillon Gabriel reach pick 146 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick163 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Nice patience on Bhayshul Tuten, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
By-the-book stuff, Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at the 201st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A wild overpay on Torricelli Simpkins III in No. 230, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Good price on Jermari Harris in slot 236, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They reached a country mile for Jalen Travis at Round 7, Pick 25, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
