Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureD
A weekend the Panthers spent fighting the board, and losing. F.

Nobody had Tyler Harrell this high, and it is not close. The Panthers reached 32 spots to get him at slot 222.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

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

Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in pick No. 15 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 26 they get juice off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in No. 33 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They paid a round early for Chris Braswell in the 36th overall pick, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick39 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
By-the-book stuff, T.J. Tampa at the 39th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Fair-plus on Jonathon Brooks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Landon Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in the 68th overall pick with a little surplus value in Landon Jackson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
No edge and no loss on Braelon Allen in the 95th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick101 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They went early on Brenden Rice in Round 4, Pick 4, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Justin Rogers
They took Justin Rogers at par in slot 132, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick138 Rnd5 Cade Stover
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cade Stover. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
They did well to land Billy Bowman Jr. in No. 164, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They read the board right and Jaylan Ford was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 5. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tyler Harrell
Tyler Harrell in slot 222 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
