Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Panthers a B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Panthers spent slot 164 on Theo Johnson, a name the board had a full 21 spots lower. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. The Smith pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at Round 2, Pick 1 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
Fair-plus on Kris Jenkins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd4 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at No. 101 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith is a better player than pick 138 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
They talked themselves into Theo Johnson at the 164th pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III in pick No. 180 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
They reached into another round for Kamal Hadden, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
