Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC-
The Panthers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The real work happened on the phones. The Panthers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Driskell has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The Corum pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick No. 33 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick39 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A big swing on Zach Frazier at the 39th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick40 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in the 40th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
Nice patience on T.J. Tampa, who had no business lasting to No. 65. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101 Rnd4 Blake Corum
Blake Corum in pick 101 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ben Sinnott at the Round 5 slot is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick166 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Sione Vaki at slot 166. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ethan Driskell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ethan Driskell. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
