Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Panthers: C.

The Panthers clearly saw something nobody else did in Kyle Ford, taking him 328 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It washes out to a C, no better and no worse.

Landing Stewart that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Hit on JT Tuimoloau and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a disruptor off the edge, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kyle Ford
Kyle Ford in the 57th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74 Rnd3 Shemar Stewart
They robbed the room for Shemar Stewart here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110 Rnd4 Aidan Keanaaina
A wild overpay on Aidan Keanaaina in pick No. 110, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A conviction pick on Jacob Parrish at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick141 Rnd5 Warren Brinson
They reached into another round for Warren Brinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They reached a country mile for Jamon Dumas-Johnson at pick 164, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229 Rnd7 Khris Bogle
They talked themselves into Khris Bogle at the 229th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
