Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Panthers: B-.

Nobody else had Tyler Baron anywhere near pick 114. The Panthers did, by 48 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Restrepo at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at slot 57 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Wyatt Milum at the Round 3 slot is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They reached into another round for Oluwafemi Oladejo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at the 114th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
A big swing on Jah Joyner at pick 140, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick146 Rnd5 Xavier Restrepo
Circle this one: Xavier Restrepo at the 146th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Que Robinson
Que Robinson at Round 5, Pick 25 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230 Rnd7 Shemar James
Value said wait; Shemar James in No. 230 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
