b DRAFTING FOR THEPanthers

Draft Grade — Panthers

FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Panthers. Everything else got attention, and linebacker got none. That is a strange way for the Panthers to leave a draft.
However the rest shakes out, Sainristil at that price is a win they earned. The cost of the Frazier reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Dallas Turner
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dallas Turner at the 33rd pick is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65
Rnd3
Byron Murphy II
They did well to land Byron Murphy II in pick 65, just ahead of his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick101
Rnd4
Tory Horton
A slide stopped in slot 101, with Tory Horton worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in No. 138 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick164
Rnd5
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil is a better player than pick No. 164 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180
Rnd6
Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222
Rnd7
Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym in the 222nd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
