Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Panthers robbed the room for Gordon II. Final grade: C.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Panthers were there to profit. Ollie Gordon II, the No. 152 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 221.

Every board in the league had Jackson lower, and that gap is the story. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Hit on Abdul Carter and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
They robbed the room for Xavier Restrepo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at pick No. 70 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson at the 106th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
They talked themselves into Parker Brailsford at Round 4, Pick 13, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
A wild overpay on Donovan Jackson in pick 140, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at No. 145 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick150 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
The board fumbled Deontae Lawson all the way to the 150th overall pick, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shemar Turner. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick221 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in pick No. 221, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Steal is underselling it; Jake Briningstool at the 230th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
