Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers robbed the room for Robinson. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Darius Robinson slide, and the Panthers were the ones holding the card at the Round 3 slot. Highway robbery.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Vidal lower, and that gap is the story. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Quinyon Mitchell at the Round 2 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
They did well to land Ladd McConkey in pick 39, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Darius Robinson in pick No. 65, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in No. 101; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick142 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
By-the-book stuff, Tommy Eichenberg at the 142nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
The board had cheaper options than Layden Robinson at slot 166, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in the 240th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
