Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Panthers went off the board in a big way for Anthony Colandrea, 43 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In pick No. 6 they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Nyck Harbor
In the 32nd overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick70 Rnd3 Bud Clark
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bud Clark. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick184 Rnd6 Trey Leckner
Trey Leckner at No. 184 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245 Rnd7 Anthony Colandrea
They left a pile of value on the table to take Anthony Colandrea this early at Round 7, Pick 29. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
