FutureB-
The Panthers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. Nobody had Theo Johnson this high, and it is not close. The Panthers reached 34 spots to get him at the 102nd overall pick.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in the 21st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brian Thomas Jr. at the 33rd pick is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick55
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
They talked themselves into Xavier Legette at the Round 2 slot, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zach Frazier in slot 65. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick102
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Theo Johnson. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141
Rnd5
Dillon Johnson
A wild overpay on Dillon Johnson in No. 141, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick180
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
They paid a round early for Curtis Jacobs in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
