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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Miyan Williams at pick No. 215 is 44 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Bowman Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at slot 33 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
By-the-book stuff, Jermaine Burton at the 65th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd4 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes slipping to No. 101 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
They took Jaheim Bell at par in Round 5, Pick 2, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in pick 177 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick181 Rnd6 Zy Alexander
They barely believed it either: Zy Alexander still on the board at the 181st overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams in pick No. 215 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222 Rnd7 Curtis Jacobs
You do not let a linebacker like Curtis Jacobs reach pick 222 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
