ItsLowk DRAFTING FOR THEPanthers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Panthers. The one they had to fix is still broken. The Panthers left cornerback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
No drama and no debate, Keon Coleman went about where he belonged in the 33rd pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jack Sawyer
A straight-up fair deal on Jack Sawyer at pick No. 65, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick101
Rnd4
Tory Horton
A tidy little value on Tory Horton in slot 101, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd5
Donovan Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Donovan Jackson. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164
Rnd5
Drake Nugent
By-the-book stuff, Drake Nugent at pick 164 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at the 180th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222
Rnd7
Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson at No. 222 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
