EastZachary24 DRAFTING FOR THEPanthers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Panthers. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Panthers started one anyway for JD Bertrand, 34 picks ahead of schedule. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
No drama and no debate, Adonai Mitchell went about where he belonged in pick No. 33. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
A reach on Cooper Beebe in the 65th pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick100
Rnd3
Cam Hart
Cam Hart at Round 3, Pick 37 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
The board had cheaper options than Justin Eboigbe at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in No. 165 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
They reached a country mile for JD Bertrand at the 177th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
