Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Panthers: B-.

The Panthers bet big and early on Zane Durant, 54 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The Igbinosun value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The back end got a real overhaul.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 4th overall pick they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
Nic Scourton slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the edge rusher. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at No. 66 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at pick 102 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick142 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in slot 142 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
A big swing on Jared Wilson at pick No. 146, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178 Rnd6 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in slot 178 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
They jumped the gun on T.J. Sanders, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick234 Rnd7 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
