Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Panthers for Campbell: A-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jihaad Campbell slide, and the Panthers were the ones holding the card at the 204th pick. Highway robbery.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will answer for taking interior defensive lineman early while cornerback and quarterback went begging.

Every board in the league had Grant lower, and that gap is the story.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 13 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at Round 2, Pick 13 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kenneth Grant this early at pick 47. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
The board had Tyler Warren higher than No. 71, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick107 Rnd4 Dontay Corleone
A surprising call. With cornerback and quarterback still to address, they spent the 107th pick on Dontay Corleone, an interior defensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick113 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Elic Ayomanor in the 113th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
The board fumbled Deontae Lawson all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Robert Spears-Jennings
A safety of that caliber at slot 143 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
Somehow Parker Brailsford was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
They barely believed it either: Chris Paul Jr. still on the board at No. 168. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 204th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at pick No. 223 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy in the 231st pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
