Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
Judkins should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a A-.

Call it larceny. Quinshon Judkins sat on the board until the 217th pick, and the Panthers did not need to be asked twice. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

The Parker reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In the end it comes back to Mason Graham, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mason Graham
A straight-up fair deal on Mason Graham at slot 8, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick39 Rnd2 Will Johnson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Will Johnson at the Round 2 slot is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick 65 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
They will replay Malaki Starks at Round 3, Pick 6 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 102 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach No. 113 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Circle this one: Jay Higgins at the 139th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Bear Alexander
No edge and no loss on Bear Alexander in the 143rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick151 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
They jumped the gun on Donovan Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
They robbed the room for Sebastian Castro here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Quinshon Judkins
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in pick 217, and they pounced on premier running back value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Steven Parker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Steven Parker in the Round 7 slot, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
