The Panthers let Wilson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Johnny Wilson, the No. 128 name on the board, stolen at pick 153.
Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at Round 2, Pick 1 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Fair-plus on Adonai Mitchell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Chris Braswell in slot 44. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick No. 101 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142
Rnd5
Josh Newton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Josh Newton at No. 142 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick153
Rnd5
Johnny Wilson
They will replay Johnny Wilson at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
