Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 159 lands the Panthers a B, Brailsford and all.

When a board-topper like Parker Brailsford slides to pick 159, you do not overthink it, and the Panthers did not.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Elliott reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 KC Concepcion
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
The board had Brandon Cisse higher than slot 51, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at pick 83 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick119 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in Round 4, Pick 19 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Tim Keenan III
Tim Keenan III at the 158th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick159 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
They robbed the room for Parker Brailsford here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Keyshaun Elliott
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Keyshaun Elliott well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
