Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall

FutureB+
The Panthers cashed the board's mistake on Devonshire: B. You build a draft on nights like this. M.J. Devonshire had no business being available in pick 240, and the Panthers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
The Eichenberg pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
They went 8 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick48
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Payton Wilson in No. 48. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil slid further than he should have, and slot 59 is lovely value for the cornerback. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick62
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in pick No. 62 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
A tidy little value on Jermaine Burton in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A quiet steal in pick 96: Dadrion Taylor-Demerson for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99
Rnd3
Blake Corum
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Blake Corum in Round 3, Pick 36, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick101
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
No edge and no loss on Christian Mahogany in the 101st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick124
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tommy Eichenberg in the 124th pick, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jared Wiley
They took Jared Wiley at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick141
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They liked Luke McCaffrey enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 141. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick142
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
A premium they did not need to pay, Tanor Bortolini a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick154
Rnd5
Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at the 154th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
The board had Kimani Vidal higher than slot 217, and the running back fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240
Rnd7
M.J. Devonshire
Taking M.J. Devonshire in pick No. 240 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
