Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Panthers this weekend: C.

The Davin Vann pick is the one that will follow the Panthers into the fall. They took him 44 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. The final tally is a middling C.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

However the rest shakes out, Walker at that price is a win they earned.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 8th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Nice patience on Jalon Walker, who had no business lasting to No. 39. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
A big swing on Tez Johnson at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A quiet steal in pick 114: Jared Wilson for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
The board had Dillon Gabriel higher than the 140th pick, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at Round 5, Pick 36 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230 Rnd7 Davin Vann
They reached into another round for Davin Vann, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
