Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Panthers: C+.

The Panthers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 162 on Jerand Bradley a full 176 spots early.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Abney II. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Joshua Josephs
A reach for Joshua Josephs in the Round 1 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kevin Coleman Jr.
A big swing on Kevin Coleman Jr. at pick No. 51, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
They liked Harold Perkins Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 19. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott in slot 119 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick156 Rnd5 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II at No. 156 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jerand Bradley
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jerand Bradley. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198 Rnd6 Albert Regis
Circle this one: Albert Regis at pick 198 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick235 Rnd7 Khordae Sydnor
A real head-scratcher, Khordae Sydnor in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
