Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueA NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers won the night they stopped Colson from sliding. Grade: B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Panthers were there to profit. Junior Colson, the No. 50 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 141.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Marvin Harrison Jr.
Marvin Harrison Jr. at Round 2, Pick 1 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
They did well to land Kingsley Suamataia in slot 65, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick102 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
They will replay Mike Sainristil at pick 102 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at the 165th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jamari Thrash
Taking Jamari Thrash in No. 180 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
