Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Ben Sinnott pick is the one that will follow the Panthers into the fall. They took him 29 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. The Wilson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
No drama and no debate, Adonai Mitchell went about where he belonged in the 33rd pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Darius Robinson at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson slid further than he should have, and pick 65 is lovely value for the linebacker. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at slot 101 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Nothing to complain about; Jarrian Jones went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Good price on Dwight McGlothern in Round 5, Pick 30, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable at the Round 7 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
