Draft Grade — Panthers

FutureB-
The Panthers kept it disciplined and banked a B. The Torricelli Simpkins III selection is the head-turner. The Panthers reached 34 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.
Landing Jones Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the 8th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
They did well to land Donovan Ezeiruaku in pick No. 57, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74
Rnd3
Kyle Kennard
By-the-book stuff, Kyle Kennard at No. 74 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Darien Porter at slot 90. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jonas Sanker
A tidy bit of business in the 140th pick, where Jonas Sanker graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
They will replay Emery Jones Jr. at Round 5, Pick 8 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick 163 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230
Rnd7
Torricelli Simpkins III
They reached into another round for Torricelli Simpkins III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
