Draft Grade — Panthers

FutureB
The Panthers kept it disciplined and banked a B. There is reaching, and then there is Kevin Jennings at Round 6, Pick 3. The Panthers jumped the board by 103 and dared it to prove them wrong.
Strong at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
A clean, defensible pick in pick 8 with a little surplus value in Ashton Jeanty. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick74
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
A tidy bit of business in the 74th pick, where Maxwell Hairston graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104
Rnd4
David Walker
No drama and no debate, David Walker went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 2. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Value said wait; Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sai'vion Jones well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125
Rnd4
Tai Felton
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tai Felton in the 125th overall pick, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136
Rnd4
Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in pick No. 136 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140
Rnd5
Logan Brown
They liked Logan Brown enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 2. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146
Rnd5
Nick Nash
The board had cheaper options than Nick Nash at slot 146, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick158
Rnd5
Dorian Strong
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 158 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick179
Rnd6
Kevin Jennings
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kevin Jennings in the 179th pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick181
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
They went early on Oronde Gadsden II in pick 181, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jack Kiser at the 192nd overall pick is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick230
Rnd7
LaJohntay Wester
They reached a country mile for LaJohntay Wester at Round 7, Pick 14, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
