Draft Grade — Panthers

FutureB-
The Panthers lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. The Panthers bet big and early on Jared Wiley, 35 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and safety is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 19 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
A quiet steal in pick No. 33: Chop Robinson for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 65. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
They took Zak Zinter at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
A tidy little value on Jaylin Simpson in the 141st overall pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at No. 165 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick180
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in the 180th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
