Draft Grade — Panthers

FutureA
The Panthers let Gould fall and pounced. Final grade: B+. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Anthony Gould got past him. The Panthers do not have to explain a thing at the 240th pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Robinson lower, and that gap is the story.
Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick39
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick 39. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at the 65th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101
Rnd4
Adisa Isaac
Somehow Adisa Isaac was still sitting there in the 101st pick, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113
Rnd4
DJ James
They will replay DJ James at slot 113 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142
Rnd5
Matt Goncalves
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Matt Goncalves in No. 142, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166
Rnd5
Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180
Rnd6
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at pick No. 180 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240
Rnd7
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at Round 7, Pick 20 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick250
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
The board fumbled Nathaniel Watson all the way to pick 250, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
