Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
B+
ValueB+
NeedB+
TradesA+
FutureC
The Panthers won the night they stopped Brooks from sliding. Grade: B+. Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Panthers came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
The Brooks pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 14 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to slot 45, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick47
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in Round 2, Pick 15 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick62
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Demetrius Knight Jr.. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111
Rnd4
Savion Williams
Savion Williams at the 111th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Terrance Ferguson in No. 119. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick140
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
They took Malachi Moore at par in No. 140, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
They liked Jay Higgins enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 17. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick230
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
They paid sticker price for Cam Jackson in the 230th pick, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick239
Rnd7
Ja'Quinden Jackson
The board had Ja'Quinden Jackson higher than the 239th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick257
Rnd7
Ja'Corey Brooks
Circle this one: Ja'Corey Brooks at pick 257 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
