Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers won the night they stopped Bowman Jr. from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Panthers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Billy Bowman Jr., the No. 113 name on the board, in pick No. 140. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting Kennard proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick 8 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kyle Kennard in No. 57, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
A premium they did not need to pay, Jordan Burch a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Chimere Dike
A tidy little value on Chimere Dike in Round 4, Pick 9, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
They took Nohl Williams at par in the 114th pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
The board fumbled Billy Bowman Jr. all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones in pick No. 146 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
They reached a country mile for Willie Lampkin at slot 163, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
