Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Panthers this weekend: B.

The Donovan Edwards pick is the one that will follow the Panthers into the fall. They took him 40 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Ransom. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick74 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at the 74th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Nothing to complain about; Malachi Moore went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at slot 110 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at No. 113 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 141 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in pick 147 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick257 Rnd7 Brady Cook
They went early on Brady Cook in Round 7, Pick 39, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
