Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Larceny in Round 7, Pick 8 lands the Panthers a A, Brooks and all.

The board owed the Panthers one, and it paid up: Tahj Brooks, the No. 110 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 7 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A to cap it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Everette reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, with Walter Nolen leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 20th pick they get a wrecking ball inside at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
A tidy bit of business in pick 49, where Jack Sawyer graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick107 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at Round 4, Pick 6 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 111th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick140 Rnd5 Daylen Everette
Value said wait; Daylen Everette in pick No. 140 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 147 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Taking Danny Stutsman in No. 162 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at pick No. 222 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at No. 233 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick256 Rnd7 Kevin Winston Jr.
They barely believed it either: Kevin Winston Jr. still on the board at Round 7, Pick 42. The roster fit checks out.
