Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Panthers: B-.

Nobody else had Ben Sinnott anywhere near pick 101. The Panthers did, by 42 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Landing McConkey that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Nice patience on Amarius Mims, who had no business lasting to the 33rd pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick65 Rnd3 Ladd McConkey
They barely believed it either: Ladd McConkey still on the board at Round 3, Pick 1. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They reached a country mile for Ben Sinnott at pick 101, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at slot 168 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kingsley Eguakun this early at the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in the 222nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
