Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueD+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Panthers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Panthers took Korey Foreman at slot 245, roughly 131 spots before his name belonged.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Banks falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick51 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Value with a capital V on Caleb Banks in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Nice patience on Jacob Rodriguez, who had no business lasting to pick 83. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Mason Reiger
They reached into another round for Mason Reiger, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ephesians Prysock in the 158th pick, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159 Rnd5 George Gumbs Jr.
George Gumbs Jr. in No. 159 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
They paid sticker price for Domani Jackson in pick No. 164, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 VJ Payne
They left a pile of value on the table to take VJ Payne this early at the 166th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at the 200th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Connor Tollison
They talked themselves into Connor Tollison at slot 203, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick233 Rnd7 John Michael Gyllenborg
They jumped the gun on John Michael Gyllenborg, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240 Rnd7 Karson Sharar
Karson Sharar at Round 7, Pick 24 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Korey Foreman
They reached a country mile for Korey Foreman at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
