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

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Panthers left cornerback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They will need Shipley to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Coleman pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A slide stopped in No. 33, with Keon Coleman worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at slot 65 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in pick 101 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick168 Rnd5 Trey Knox
They liked Trey Knox enough to skip the value, taking him in the 168th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
They paid sticker price for Jase McClellan in Round 6, Pick 29, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
They paid up for Kedon Slovis at the Round 7 slot when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
