Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Panthers won the night they stopped Dart from sliding. Grade: A.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jaxson Dart tumbling to the Panthers in the 104th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Little to argue with here, and the A says so.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Reaching for Brown left real value on the table behind him. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In the end it comes back to Harold Perkins Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Harold Perkins Jr.
In the 22nd overall pick they get a green-dot type in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
They robbed the room for Xavier Restrepo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Watts went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
A quiet steal in pick No. 68: Deontae Lawson for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Fernando Carmona
A reasonable price with a little left over, Fernando Carmona in the 83rd pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
They paid sticker price for Kevin Winston Jr. in slot 89, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129 Rnd4 Barion Brown
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Barion Brown well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at Round 4, Pick 36 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143 Rnd5 Shavon Revel Jr.
You do not let a cornerback like Shavon Revel Jr. reach slot 143 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick155 Rnd5 Nick Martin
A real head-scratcher, Nick Martin in pick No. 155 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jalon Walker
A reach on Jalon Walker in No. 192; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jason Henderson
Jason Henderson in the 221st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
