Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
B
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesC
FutureA+
The Panthers kept it disciplined and banked a B. The Panthers clearly saw something nobody else did in Ahmed Hassanein, taking him 101 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
That Belton pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The Farmer pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with linebacker and quarterback still on the board.
A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick59
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Good price on Alfred Collins in pick 59, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick67
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74
Rnd3
Darien Porter
They took Darien Porter at par in pick No. 74, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Savion Williams
They paid sticker price for Savion Williams in the 94th overall pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 103rd pick on Joshua Farmer with linebacker and quarterback unsolved.
Pick113
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sai'vion Jones in slot 113, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
No drama and no debate, O'Donnell Fortune went about where he belonged in slot 117. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123
Rnd4
Ahmed Hassanein
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ahmed Hassanein. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Brashard Smith
The board fumbled Brashard Smith all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147
Rnd5
LeQuint Allen
Nice patience on LeQuint Allen, who had no business lasting to the 147th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164
Rnd5
Anthony Belton
They will replay Anthony Belton at pick No. 164 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick167
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
They liked Oronde Gadsden II enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 167. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders in the 229th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239
Rnd7
Ricky White III
They barely believed it either: Ricky White III still on the board at Round 7, Pick 21. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
