Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall F
ValueF NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Panthers cashed the board's mistake on Mondon Jr.: F.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Panthers would have aced it. Tez Johnson at slot 18 is 99 spots clear of where he belonged. The warnings were there, and the F is the bill.

The Mondon Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left cornerback open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 5th pick they get a mismatch in the passing game, a steep price for the projection.
Pick18 Rnd1 Tez Johnson
In slot 18 they get a difference-maker at receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
They let Harold Fannin Jr. come to them and pounced at the 48th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
They reached a country mile for Nicholas Singleton at No. 70, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 LT Overton
Steal is underselling it; LT Overton at Round 4, Pick 13 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They reached into another round for Dont'e Thornton Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Rylie Mills
Value with a capital V on Rylie Mills in the 145th overall pick, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick159 Rnd5 Rod Moore
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Rod Moore at pick No. 159. It fills a real need, too.
Pick221 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in the 221st pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at No. 230 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
