Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Nobody dealt better than the Panthers this weekend: B+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Panthers reached some 40 spots for Vernon Broughton, and value like that does not grow back.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. The Grover Stewart deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

The Jeanty value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 14 they get a lead back with juice, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick19 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick74 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They paid a round early for Charles Grant in the 74th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 David Walker
No edge and no loss on David Walker in No. 111; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
By-the-book stuff, Joshua Farmer at pick No. 114 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
A real head-scratcher, Jah Joyner in the 140th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at pick No. 146 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick163 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at the 163rd overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick230 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler at No. 230 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
