1-28 Kelvin Benjamin WR
Reached for Benjamin. Was going in the mid to late 2nd round near Landry and Jordan Matthews. High potential but a project player. Could have taken advantage of a team like the Vikings wanting to move up for a QB and still landed Benjamin or a receiver of the same value in the 2nd round plus an extra pick.
Grade: C-
 
2-60 Kony Ealy DE
Great value at this spot in the draft. Does not fit a team need. Will not be placed into an impact role for the Panthers. I always believe the first 3 rounds must be players who will impact the upcoming season. If you want depth and development, stock up on day 3 picks. Once again a missed opportunity at trading down with a team like the Jaguars who wanted to move up for a receiver. Panthers would have gotten Kony Ealy 10 picks later, or there would have been a good chance Morgan Moses or Billy Turner would have been pushed to the Panthers if a team jumped at Kony Ealy.
Grade: B-
 
3-92 Trai Turner OG
Good value at this pick. Will compete for starting spot, but plays high and tends to get stood up by DL and LBs at the point of attack. Excellent pulling guard. He is a project as a goal line blocker (needs to play low) and pass blocker (needs to keep his feet/balance).
Grade: B+
 
4-128 Tre Boston SS 
On the NFL level Boston is a special teams player. A reach for a special teams player. Needs to be exceptional on special teams to qualify this high of a pick.
Grade: D+
 
5-148 Bene Benwikere CB
Gave up 2 picks to get a Nickel Back. Best shot at success is free safety. He will contribute on special teams. There are a handful of UDFAs that are of equal or greater skill and talent in coverage ability. You only trade up for players who will make an impact year one on a game by game basis and he will need at least 2 years to develop his coverage skills.
Grade: C-
 
6-204 Tyler Gaffney RB  
Will be buried on the depth chart. Looks to be a special teams player at best and by Gettleman's own comments he was drafted to pick up blitzes in preseason. You do not draft for the preseason.
Grade: F
 
 
Overall Draft Grade: C-
