Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Grand theft in No. 241: the Panthers steal Smith and grade out a A-.

The board owed the Panthers one, and it paid up: Ainias Smith, the No. 174 name on the board, sitting there at the 241st overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick101 Rnd4 Christian Haynes
Good price on Christian Haynes in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick127 Rnd4 Connor Colby
No edge and no loss on Connor Colby in the 127th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
The board had Jaheim Bell higher than Round 5, Pick 2, and the tight end fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in slot 164 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick213 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. slipping to No. 213 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
A tidy bit of business in pick 222, where Tony Grimes graded well above the range. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at pick No. 241 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
