Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers let Nelson fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jack Nelson, pick 164, roughly 20 picks past where he belonged.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. King has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Kalen King
Kalen King at slot 33 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in pick No. 65 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.
Pick101 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
They paid sticker price for Bucky Irving in pick 101, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Ben Sinnott for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in Round 5, Pick 28 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180 Rnd6 Steve Linton
Steve Linton in the 180th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tyler Batty
Fair-plus on Tyler Batty, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
