Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Panthers.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Panthers did exactly that with Suntarine Perkins in the Round 2 slot.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hubbard. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In the 19th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Suntarine Perkins
A real head-scratcher, Suntarine Perkins in pick No. 51 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Good price on Julian Neal in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
A wild overpay on Malachi Lawrence in slot 119, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
A reach on Kyle Louis in the 156th overall pick; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick157 Rnd5 Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard slipping to Round 5, Pick 19 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
No drama and no debate, Rayshaun Benny went about where he belonged in pick No. 200. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick235 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
A big swing on Pat Coogan at the 235th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
