Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB+
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Panthers.

The Panthers clearly saw something nobody else did in Oronde Gadsden II, taking him 51 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Starks falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in Round 2, Pick 25 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A premium they did not need to pay, Charles Grant a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80 Rnd3 David Walker
David Walker in the 80th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at No. 111 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick 114 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hollin Pierce. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They left a pile of value on the table to take Oronde Gadsden II this early at Round 5, Pick 8. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings in pick No. 163 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
A reach for Bilhal Kone in the 230th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
