Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers robbed the room for Gordon II. Final grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ollie Gordon II, slot 231, roughly 80 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If Kennard pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Panthers indulged a want in Collins while a need in wide receiver, cornerback and other spots stayed open. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 5th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. More want than need.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
A real head-scratcher, Kyle Kennard in the 47th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Alfred Collins adds an interior defensive lineman and leaves wide receiver, cornerback and other spots untouched.
Pick107 Rnd4 Kamari Ramsey
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kamari Ramsey in No. 107, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick113 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
They will replay Deontae Lawson at slot 139 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
A slide stopped in pick No. 143, with Parker Brailsford worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick160 Rnd5 Connor Colby
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Connor Colby. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick223 Rnd7 Barrett Carter
Somehow Barrett Carter was still sitting there in the 223rd pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They barely believed it either: Ollie Gordon II still on the board at the 231st overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
