Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Panthers let Thornton Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a A.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dont'e Thornton Jr., the 229th overall pick, roughly 44 picks past where he belonged. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 25th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
A straight-up fair deal on Zy Alexander at pick No. 57, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaiah Bond in No. 76, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Savion Williams at pick 110 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A safety of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at the 132nd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 141 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in Round 5, Pick 8 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick164 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in pick 164 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick229 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
You do not let a wide receiver like Dont'e Thornton Jr. reach the 229th pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
