Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
Grand theft in the Round 5 slot: the Panthers steal Moss and grade out a A-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Panthers watched Miller Moss slide 87 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They are betting Brown proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The Panthers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jahdae Barron and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
They let Jahdae Barron come to them and pounced at pick 38. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Patrick Payton
No edge and no loss on Patrick Payton in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Good price on Kevin Winston Jr. in slot 96, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at Round 4, Pick 3 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Barion Brown
A conviction pick on Barion Brown at the 133rd overall pick that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Gunnar Helm
A premium they did not need to pay, Gunnar Helm a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147 Rnd5 Miller Moss
Miller Moss at No. 147 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick221 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in the 221st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Kamari Wilson
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 226, where Kamari Wilson graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
