JBHANCOCK94 DRAFTING FOR THEPanthers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Panthers kept it disciplined and banked a B. Every other box got a look, but edge rusher did not. The Panthers will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.
That Ott pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In No. 19 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51
Rnd2
Christen Miller
They read the board right and Christen Miller was the payoff at slot 51. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick83
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malachi Fields in Round 3, Pick 19. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119
Rnd4
Parker Brailsford
They took Parker Brailsford at par in pick 119, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156
Rnd5
Jude Bowry
Good price on Jude Bowry in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick157
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
A tidy little value on Domani Jackson in pick No. 157, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198
Rnd6
Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott slipping to the 198th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235
Rnd7
Jalen Huskey
Jalen Huskey at the 235th overall pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
