Draft Grade — Panthers

The Panthers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Panthers did exactly that with Aeneas Peebles in slot 111. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Getting King where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
A straight-up fair deal on Matthew Golden at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at the 57th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at Round 3, Pick 10 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
This one needs a full-page explanation: Aeneas Peebles in pick No. 111, miles early. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick114 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at slot 114 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140 Rnd5 Kobe King
A tidy bit of business in No. 140, where Kobe King graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
No edge and no loss on Mitchell Evans in the 146th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They read the board right and Jordan Hancock was the payoff at pick No. 230. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
