fffff DRAFTING FOR THEPanthers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
B-
ValueC-
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Panthers kept it disciplined and banked a B-. The Panthers clearly saw something nobody else did in Aki Ogunbiyi, taking him 59 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.
The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
They liked Xavier Legette enough to skip the value, taking him in the 33rd pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65
Rnd3
Troy Fautanu
This one needs a full-page explanation: Troy Fautanu in the 65th overall pick, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick101
Rnd4
Moose Muhammad III
A real head-scratcher, Moose Muhammad III in pick No. 101 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138
Rnd5
Bryce Foster
They talked themselves into Bryce Foster at pick 138, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick163
Rnd5
Cam Hart
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Hart. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180
Rnd6
Aki Ogunbiyi
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Aki Ogunbiyi. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
