Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
The Panthers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Panthers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Adding Robert Hunt by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

That Robinson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chop Robinson in the 33rd pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They took Sedrick Van Pran at par in pick No. 65, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick101 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at Round 4, Pick 1 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
No edge and no loss on Jaheim Bell in slot 166; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
