FutureA
The Panthers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D. The Panthers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.
Muhammad III has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Getting Restrepo where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, safety very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick40
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Emeka Egbuka in No. 40. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the 57th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 65th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in pick No. 86 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
By-the-book stuff, Marist Liufau at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 34 with a little surplus value in Sedrick Van Pran. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick101
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in slot 101 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A straight-up fair deal on Mohamed Kamara at pick 122, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dallin Holker. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130
Rnd4
Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III at No. 130 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156
Rnd5
Layden Robinson
They paid sticker price for Layden Robinson in Round 5, Pick 20, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
A tidy bit of business in pick 157, where Jaylin Simpson graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick168
Rnd5
Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at slot 168 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
They did well to land Jonah Monheim in the 174th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
They took Sam Hartman at par in the 182nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222
Rnd7
Kurtis Rourke
A premium they did not need to pay, Kurtis Rourke a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246
Rnd7
Xavier Restrepo
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Restrepo at No. 246 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
