Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers robbed the room for Wheatley. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Panthers were there to profit. Zakee Wheatley, the No. 77 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 4 slot.

Coogan has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In the 16th pick they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Sonny Styles at slot 48 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Anthony Lucas
Anthony Lucas at pick 80 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
A reach on Jacob Rodriguez in Round 5, Pick 11; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 Drew Allar
They paid sticker price for Drew Allar in the 156th overall pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick196 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in pick No. 196 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick231 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at No. 231 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
