FutureA
Washington should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a B-. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Tahj Washington, the No. 189 name on the board, stolen at No. 240.
The Nugent pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.
Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick39
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
No drama and no debate, Xavier Legette went about where he belonged in pick 39. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65
Rnd3
Trey Benson
They reached a country mile for Trey Benson at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick101
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at No. 101 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 120th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ty'Ron Hopper in Round 5, Pick 6, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166
Rnd5
Drake Nugent
A big swing on Drake Nugent at pick No. 166, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240
Rnd7
Tahj Washington
They robbed the room for Tahj Washington here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
