Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 34: the Panthers steal Barton and grade out a B+.

Call it larceny. Lander Barton sat on the board until the Round 7 slot, and the Panthers did not need to be asked twice. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

Campbell has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
A clean, defensible pick in No. 52 with a little surplus value in Xavier Restrepo. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 67th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
Taking Dylan Sampson in the 108th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach slot 139 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
They will replay Tez Johnson at pick No. 143 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
A big swing on DJ Campbell at pick 151, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick158 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Danny Stutsman in pick 158, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nazir Stackhouse. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick230 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
They barely believed it either: Raheim Sanders still on the board at No. 230. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Circle this one: Lander Barton at slot 248 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
