kyleh2040 DRAFTING FOR THEPanthers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B- to prove it. Every other box got a look, but linebacker did not. The Panthers will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick 65 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khyree Jackson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
No edge and no loss on Frank Gore Jr. in the 168th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick180
Rnd6
Trey Knox
They did well to land Trey Knox in slot 180, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222
Rnd7
Trevor Keegan
A straight-up fair deal on Trevor Keegan at pick No. 222, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
