Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Panthers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Zion Nelson, 33 picks early at No. 222. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Tampa pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with cornerback, quarterback and other spots still on the board. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Adding Daniel Bellinger by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A straight-up fair deal on Keon Coleman at the 35th pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went defensive back with T.J. Tampa while clear needs at cornerback, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick101 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They took Smael Mondon Jr. at par in pick No. 101, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd5 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the Round 5 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Moose Muhammad III
No drama and no debate, Moose Muhammad III went about where he belonged in No. 163. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jordan Burch
They liked Jordan Burch enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 5. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zion Nelson. The roster fit checks out.
