Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Panthers: B.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Panthers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to linebacker, which was the need that mattered most.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds in No. 51 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
They paid sticker price for Sam Hecht in the 83rd pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
