Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Panthers: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Panthers took Marcellas Dial at Round 7, Pick 20, roughly 45 spots before his name belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The back end got a real overhaul.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 32 they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at pick 72 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick101 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at Round 4, Pick 1 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick157 Rnd5 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A real head-scratcher, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick No. 200 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick240 Rnd7 Marcellas Dial
Value said wait; Marcellas Dial in the 240th overall pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
