Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Panthers turned the phones into found money: B.

The Panthers put a flag in the ground for Cornelius Johnson, 157 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Adding Amari Cooper by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Adonai Mitchell. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in Round 3, Pick 26, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick101 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at No. 168 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Trey Knox
They took Trey Knox at par in pick No. 180, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cornelius Johnson in slot 222, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
