Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall

FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Panthers: B. The Panthers did not so much draft Theo Johnson as overpay for him, 25 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B.
Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. However the rest shakes out, McCaffrey at that price is a win they earned.
Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at the 33rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in pick 59 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96
Rnd3
Theo Johnson
They reached a country mile for Theo Johnson at the 96th pick, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick101
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
They took Braelon Allen at par in slot 101, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
By-the-book stuff, Elijah Jones at Round 4, Pick 16 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
A clean, defensible pick in the 123rd pick with a little surplus value in Tyler Davis. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Fair-plus on Jarrian Jones, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They robbed the room for Luke McCaffrey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240
Rnd7
Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at slot 240 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
