Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB FutureA
Larceny in pick 227 lands the Panthers a A-, Restrepo and all.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Panthers were there to profit. Xavier Restrepo, the No. 49 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 227th overall pick. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 8th pick they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Steal is underselling it; Jahdae Barron at No. 54 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 110 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick113 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at the 113th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ashton Jeanty
Taking Ashton Jeanty in slot 139 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at pick 145 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at Round 5, Pick 25 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
