FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B. The Panthers went off the board in a big way for Antwaun Powell-Ryland, 29 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick40
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at slot 40 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick70
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 70 with a little surplus value in Javon Bullard. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick100
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
A straight-up fair deal on Dominick Puni at the 100th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick101
Rnd4
Cooper Beebe
A reach on Cooper Beebe in pick 101; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick109
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at Round 4, Pick 9 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
They jumped the gun on Ben Sinnott, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jonah Monheim. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
They went early on Michael Barrett in the 180th overall pick, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick189
Rnd6
Isaiah Neyor
A big swing on Isaiah Neyor at pick No. 189, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick201
Rnd6
Isaiah Davis
A conviction pick on Isaiah Davis at pick 201 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222
Rnd7
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
