Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall

FutureD-
The Panthers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Panthers spent Round 7, Pick 2 on Marshel Martin, a name the board had a full 96 spots lower. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In No. 18 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at pick No. 33 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
They did well to land Edgerrin Cooper in pick 65, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Good price on Zak Zinter in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112
Rnd4
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in the 112th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
A clean, defensible pick in the 168th overall pick with a little surplus value in Grayson Murphy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180
Rnd6
Andrew Raym
They took Andrew Raym at par in slot 180, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick222
Rnd7
Marshel Martin
Marshel Martin in Round 7, Pick 2 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
