Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 233: the Panthers steal Restrepo and grade out a B.

Somebody in slot 233 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Panthers sat still while Xavier Restrepo, the No. 22 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick 9 they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Cam Ward
Cam Ward in the 47th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at No. 71 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in Round 4, Pick 6 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick111 Rnd4 Malaki Starks
You do not let a safety like Malaki Starks reach slot 111 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140 Rnd5 Josaiah Stewart
The board fumbled Josaiah Stewart all the way to the 140th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Tre Harris
Taking Tre Harris in pick No. 147 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick162 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at pick No. 222 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in the 233rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
