Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureA-
The Panthers won the night they stopped Brooks from sliding. Grade: B.

When a board-topper like Tahj Brooks slides to Round 7, Pick 8, you do not overthink it, and the Panthers did not. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Williams has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 13th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick47 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at slot 47 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams at the 71st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at No. 78 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick107 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
They reached a country mile for Zy Alexander at pick 107, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Taking Jake Majors in Round 4, Pick 13 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick140 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 140 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in the 147th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
The board fumbled Billy Bowman Jr. all the way to pick No. 162, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Tahj Brooks in No. 222, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris in slot 233 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Jared Wilson at pick 256 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
