Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Panthers: B-. The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named cornerback, a need the Panthers walked right past. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
The Williams reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
In the 8th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
They paid sticker price for Jayden Higgins in pick No. 57, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
