Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers let Trotter Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jeremiah Trotter Jr. got past him. The Panthers do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 101. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at pick 33 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Darius Robinson at pick No. 39 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jordan Morgan
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Morgan at the 65th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick101 Rnd4 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Circle this one: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick142 Rnd5 Josh Newton
The board fumbled Josh Newton all the way to the 142nd pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick166 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in Round 5, Pick 30 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Value with a capital V on Dwight McGlothern in slot 178, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
