Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Panthers: B. Every other box got a look, but cornerback did not. The Panthers will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Makai Lemon
In slot 16 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48
Rnd2
Connor Lew
Connor Lew at the 48th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
