Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Panthers for Smith: A.

The Panthers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Brashard Smith, the No. 37 name on the board, in pick 159. This is how you run a draft, and the A reflects it.

They are betting Mertz proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 14 they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in the 44th pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
They went early on Nic Scourton in pick No. 45, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Value with a capital V on Jake Majors in Round 3, Pick 13, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to the 80th overall pick, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 114 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Steal is underselling it; Jay Higgins at slot 139 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 143 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at No. 159 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
Brant Kuithe in pick No. 217 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Graham Mertz well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
