First Round: Vernon Butler, DT, Louisiana Tech

The defensive line wasn't Carolina's biggest need, but there's nothing wrong with adding an impact player up front. Butler should be a rotational guy as a rookie and eventually take on a starting role for the Panthers' defense.
Grade: B+

Second Round: James Bradberry, CB, Samford

The Panthers needed a corner, but Bradberry may not be ready to play right away. He has the size, but his corner skills are still raw. He's going to take a huge step up in competition in the NFL as well, which is definitely a concern.

Third Round: Daryl Worley, CB, West Virginia

Worley is another corner and a player more suited to play right away than Bradberry. He doesn't have a huge ceiling, as he lacks top-line speed, but he can be a solid corner in the NFL and give the Panthers depth after losing Josh Norman.

Fifth Round: Zack Sanchez, CB, Oklahoma

Taking a third corner in a row is a bit overkill, but Sanchez is a good value pick on Day 3. He faced plenty of pass-heavy offenses in college, so he's ready for the NFL and profiles well as a nickel corner who can defend slot receivers.

Seventh Round: Beau Sandland, TE, Miami

Sandland may turn into a fine tight end, but the Panthers had other areas to address instead of taking a luxury pick in the seventh round, especially when they had so few picks. Unless Sandland becomes a star, this pick is questionable.
