Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall

Good, not great, for the Panthers: B. Everything else got attention, and linebacker got none. That is a strange way for the Panthers to leave a draft.
Sanders falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the 8th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at Round 2, Pick 25 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick74
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
