Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Panthers did not so much draft Myles Jones as overpay for him, 34 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Getting Coleman where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Keon Coleman at slot 33 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at Round 3, Pick 1 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick101 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They took Blake Fisher at par in the 101st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
They did well to land Chau Smith-Wade in pick No. 168, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd6 Myles Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Myles Jones in No. 180, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
