KDE DRAFTING FOR THEPanthers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
B-
ValueC
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B- to prove it. The Mason Fairchild selection is the head-turner. The Panthers reached 79 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in the 33rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65
Rnd3
Ricky Pearsall
They took Ricky Pearsall at par in the 65th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at No. 101 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Monheim at Round 5, Pick 32, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180
Rnd6
Isaiah Davis
A real head-scratcher, Isaiah Davis in pick 180 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222
Rnd7
Mason Fairchild
They reached into another round for Mason Fairchild, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
