SD DRAFTING FOR THEPanthers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Panthers: B-. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Panthers took Daevin Hobbs a full 35 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
They banked enough surplus on Thieneman to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Kenyon Sadiq
In slot 19 they get a mismatch in the passing game. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in the 51st pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83
Rnd3
Malik Muhammad
A reach for Malik Muhammad in pick 83; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119
Rnd4
Max Llewellyn
Max Llewellyn in pick No. 119 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156
Rnd5
Kaleb Elarms-Orr
A wild overpay on Kaleb Elarms-Orr in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick157
Rnd5
Taylen Green
They reached a country mile for Taylen Green at Round 5, Pick 19, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198
Rnd6
Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235
Rnd7
Daevin Hobbs
They talked themselves into Daevin Hobbs at pick 235, and the board did not agree. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
