Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB
Larceny in the 222nd overall pick lands the Panthers a D, Ulofoshio and all.

The board owed the Panthers one, and it paid up: Edefuan Ulofoshio, the No. 156 name on the board, sitting there at the 222nd pick like a gift left on the doorstep. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with safety still on the board.

The Taylor III reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
They paid sticker price for Brian Thomas Jr. in slot 27, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at pick 33 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick65 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the 65th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
They jumped the gun on Leonard Taylor III, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick105 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went OLB-EDGE with Javon Solomon while clear needs at safety sat open.
Pick141 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cedric Gray in No. 141. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
They let Jaheim Bell come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 20. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick157 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick158 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in No. 158 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick No. 168 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
The board fumbled Keith Randolph Jr. all the way to Round 6, Pick 5, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 222nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at the 225th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
