Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Panthers let Jackson fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

Call it larceny. Ja'Quinden Jackson sat on the board until the 223rd overall pick, and the Panthers did not need to be asked twice. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

The Walker pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. It is not that Walker is a bad player; it is that the Panthers had louder needs to answer first.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick71 Rnd3 T.J. Sanders
Steal is underselling it; T.J. Sanders at No. 71 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick97 Rnd3 Deone Walker
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went interior defensive lineman with Deone Walker while clear needs at cornerback, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick107 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at the 107th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey at slot 113 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick No. 139 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts in pick 143 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
They robbed the room for Deontae Lawson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Robert Spears-Jennings
The board fumbled Robert Spears-Jennings all the way to pick 160, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick164 Rnd5 Cody Simon
You do not let a linebacker like Cody Simon reach the 164th overall pick and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
A running back of that caliber at slot 223 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy in No. 231 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
