FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B to prove it. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Panthers started one anyway for Luke McCaffrey, 43 picks ahead of schedule.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. The Thrash value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick38
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in pick No. 38 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick39
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
The board had Adonai Mitchell higher than pick 39, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
A reach on Ja'Lynn Polk in the 65th pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101
Rnd4
Javon Baker
Value with a capital V on Javon Baker in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
They reached into another round for Luke McCaffrey, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jamari Thrash in slot 142. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at slot 146 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
Value said wait; Tahj Washington in the 166th pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick240
Rnd7
Bub Means
Bub Means in pick 240 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
