Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Panthers let Ransom fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Lathan Ransom slide, and the Panthers were the ones holding the card at pick 140. Highway robbery.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 8th pick they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at pick 57 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick140 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Taking Lathan Ransom in Round 5, Pick 2 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at pick No. 174 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick218 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Circle this one: Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at No. 218 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson at the 230th overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
