Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
A-
ValueC+
NeedB+
TradesA+
FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Panthers a A-. The Panthers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Barion Brown at the Round 4 slot regardless, 44 picks early.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Getting Cornelius where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
It is a haul that will look even better come September.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
James Pearce Jr.
By-the-book stuff, James Pearce Jr. at pick No. 19 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick32
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In No. 32 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, and a steal at that.
Pick46
Rnd2
Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. in Round 2, Pick 14 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick52
Rnd2
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at slot 52 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick63
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
They talked themselves into Nick Emmanwori at the 63rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
They reached a country mile for Kevin Winston Jr. at the 66th pick, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85
Rnd3
Smael Mondon Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Smael Mondon Jr.. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95
Rnd3
Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in No. 95 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97
Rnd3
Sebastian Castro
Nothing to complain about; Sebastian Castro went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Burch well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116
Rnd4
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in pick No. 116 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123
Rnd4
Barion Brown
A wild overpay on Barion Brown in pick 123, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
