Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB FutureC+
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B to prove it.

The Panthers went off the board in a big way for Ben Sinnott, 18 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. However the rest shakes out, Oladapo at that price is a win they earned.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 27 they get juice off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sedrick Van Pran. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cam Hart
By-the-book stuff, Cam Hart at slot 101 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Value said wait; Ben Sinnott in No. 111 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
They paid sticker price for Jacob Cowing in Round 5, Pick 6, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A tidy bit of business in the 166th pick, where Kitan Oladapo graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
They paid up for Tyrice Knight at Round 7, Pick 20 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
