Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedA- TradesB FutureC-
Hill should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Panthers were there to profit. Tommi Hill, the No. 135 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 164.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick 5 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at Round 2, Pick 25 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They took Smael Mondon Jr. at par in the 110th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Phillips at No. 113 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Taking Tory Horton in the 141st pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
A quiet steal in pick No. 147: Jeffrey Bassa for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They will replay Tommi Hill at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick229 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
You do not let a wide receiver like Kobe Hudson reach slot 229 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
