Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B.

The Panthers' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick51 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
By-the-book stuff, Brandon Cisse at slot 51 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
Skyler Bell at the 83rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
A tidy little value on D'Angelo Ponds in the 119th pick, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick156 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
They took Sammy Omosigho at par in pick No. 156, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
Jalen Stroman in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
They let CJ Daniels come to them and pounced at No. 200. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels in pick 235 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
