Jimmyneutron571 DRAFTING FOR THEPanthers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
B-
ValueC-
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Panthers: B-. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Panthers shredded theirs for Antwaun Powell-Ryland. He came off 76 spots early, and the room will hear about it.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Bond. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Landon Jackson
In slot 8 they get a premier pass rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
They let Jonah Savaiinaea come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 25. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick74
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110
Rnd4
Isaiah Bond
Somehow Isaiah Bond was still sitting there in the 110th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joshua Farmer. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick141
Rnd5
Connor Colby
Connor Colby at pick No. 141 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147
Rnd5
Simeon Barrow Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Simeon Barrow Jr. this early at pick No. 147. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at the 164th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229
Rnd7
Robert Longerbeam
Robert Longerbeam in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
