ikj23xx DRAFTING FOR THEPanthers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedB+
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. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mustapha. Reaching for Van Pran left real value on the table behind him. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Nice patience on Chop Robinson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 33. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
Fair-plus on Ladd McConkey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at pick 65 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick101
Rnd4
Trey Benson
A tidy little value on Trey Benson in No. 101, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick142
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 142nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
They let Malik Mustapha come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 30. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
They took Caedan Wallace at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
