Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Panthers for Gordon II: B.

The Panthers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Ollie Gordon II fell into the 231st overall pick. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Tuimoloau has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in pick No. 47 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Good price on Kenneth Grant in No. 71, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick107 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Tyler Warren in slot 107, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
Steal is underselling it; Sonny Styles at the 113th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Circle this one: Deontae Lawson at the 139th pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
The board had Parker Brailsford higher than pick 143, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick160 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
Value said wait; Donovan Jackson in Round 5, Pick 22 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223 Rnd7 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at pick 223 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 17, and they pounced on premier running back value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
