Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueA NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers let Harris fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Tre Harris at No. 230 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The back end got a real overhaul.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In slot 5 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at the 52nd pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
Taking Jahdae Barron in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108 Rnd4 Ashton Jeanty
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ashton Jeanty in pick 108, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach the 112th overall pick and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in No. 139 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick143 Rnd5 Josaiah Stewart
They robbed the room for Josaiah Stewart here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick158 Rnd5 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at Round 5, Pick 20 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230 Rnd7 Tre Harris
They will replay Tre Harris at Round 7, Pick 16 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
