Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Simpson, and a B, for the Panthers.

The Panthers spent the pick that matters most on Ty Simpson, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Slaughter. The cost of the Benny reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Ty Simpson
In the 13th overall pick they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Mansoor Delane
Somehow Mansoor Delane was still sitting there in slot 47, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
They will replay Jake Slaughter at pick No. 78 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen in No. 113 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson in pick 156 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick158 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
They left a pile of value on the table to take Rayshaun Benny this early at Round 5, Pick 17. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick194 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at the 194th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Elliot Washington II
A wild overpay on Elliot Washington II in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
