Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Panthers spent Round 7, Pick 2 on Layden Robinson, a name most had 39 spots down the list. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Smith.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
By-the-book stuff, Troy Franklin at pick No. 33 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick101 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Value with a capital V on Tory Horton in the 101st pick, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138 Rnd5 Tyler Guyton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Guyton in slot 138. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163 Rnd5 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in Round 5, Pick 27 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 Ainias Smith
They barely believed it either: Ainias Smith still on the board at No. 180. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222 Rnd7 Layden Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Layden Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
