Some of y’all owe Dan Morgan an apology
The Panthers took value in Round 1, letting OT Monroe Freeling fall to them at pick No. 19.
From that point on, they targeted value all over the board.
This was highlighted in the mid rounds of the draft.
They took C Sam Hecht at No. 143 when he was expected to go closer to No. 80.
Just a few picks later, they grabbed S Zakee Wheatley, who was expected to be a top-100 selection.
There wasn’t a single pick the Panthers made earlier than expected.
They did not over-value team needs or over-prioritize their own individual rankings of these players over the consensus ranking.
