Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The Panthers let Pritchett fall into their laps, and walked away with a D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Panthers did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Knox to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They banked enough surplus on Pritchett to cover a lot of smaller sins.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In the 17th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in pick 33 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick65 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
No edge and no loss on Adisa Isaac in the 65th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They took Sedrick Van Pran at par in slot 91, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Moose Muhammad III
They paid sticker price for Moose Muhammad III in No. 155, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Taking Nehemiah Pritchett in pick No. 168 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at No. 180 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
The board had JD Bertrand higher than Round 7, Pick 2, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
