Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueF NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Panthers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Panthers spent the 65th pick on Antonio Williams, a name most had 96 spots down the list. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

George Pickens gives the group a proven body among the projects.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. in pick 14 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick46 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in slot 46 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick50 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They talked themselves into Donovan Jackson at the Round 2 slot, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jake Briningstool
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jake Briningstool this early at pick No. 58. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Antonio Williams well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalon Walker in Round 3, Pick 14, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore at slot 97 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard at No. 127 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd5 Julian Fleming
Julian Fleming at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139 Rnd5 Aydan White
The board had cheaper options than Aydan White at pick No. 139, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Denver Harris
A conviction pick on Denver Harris at the 159th pick that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick161 Rnd6 Tim Smith
A wild overpay on Tim Smith in Round 6, Pick 1, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick219 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the 219th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
