FutureB
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B. The rest of the league had time to spare on Joshua Gray; the Panthers did not wait, grabbing him 30 spots ahead at the Round 3 slot.
A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
A tidy little value on Travis Hunter in the 5th pick, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick37
Rnd2
Kevin Winston Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 37 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick38
Rnd2
Mykel Williams
No edge and no loss on Mykel Williams in slot 38; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65
Rnd3
Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at pick No. 65 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69
Rnd3
Shilo Sanders
A premium they did not need to pay, Shilo Sanders a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129
Rnd5
Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams at the 129th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick161
Rnd6
CJ Dippre
They went early on CJ Dippre in pick 161, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
