Grand theft in pick No. 65: the Panthers steal Coleman and grade out a B.

The Panthers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Keon Coleman, the No. 36 name on the board, in slot 65. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. If Wiley pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Adonai Mitchell. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in slot 65 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd4 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 2 is lovely value for the edge rusher. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Josh Newton
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Josh Newton for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at pick No. 165 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jared Wiley this early at the 180th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
