Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB FutureB
Colson should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a B+.

The board owed the Panthers one, and it paid up: Junior Colson, the No. 52 name on the board, sitting there at No. 101 like a gift left on the doorstep. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
The board had Chop Robinson higher than Round 2, Pick 1, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Nothing to complain about; Ladd McConkey went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101 Rnd4 Junior Colson
The board fumbled Junior Colson all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at No. 142 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Beau Brade
They will replay Beau Brade at slot 164 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick166 Rnd5 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at the 166th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240 Rnd7 Trente Jones
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 240 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
