Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesA+ FutureA
The Panthers let Simpson fall into their laps, and walked away with a A.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jaylin Simpson at the Round 7 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Justin Reid deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A straight-up fair deal on Troy Franklin at No. 33, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
No drama and no debate, Xavier Legette went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick101 Rnd4 DJ James
Steal is underselling it; DJ James at the 101st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142 Rnd5 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at Round 5, Pick 6 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 Javon Foster
The board fumbled Javon Foster all the way to the 166th pick, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jaylin Simpson
Taking Jaylin Simpson in pick 240 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
