The phones sank the Panthers this weekend: D-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Panthers did exactly that with Zion Logue in the 222nd pick.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 26 they get a disruptor off the edge, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at pick No. 33 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
They went early on Devontez Walker in slot 40, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They paid up for Payton Wilson at the 65th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
A conviction pick on Johnny Wilson at the 66th pick that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They paid a round early for Blake Corum in Round 3, Pick 6, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick101 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They took Zak Zinter at par in pick 101, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
By-the-book stuff, Chau Smith-Wade at Round 5, Pick 32 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips at the 180th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Zion Logue
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Logue in slot 222, miles early. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
