Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Panthers.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Trey Moore in slot 145, a good 115 spots before the room expected him. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

However the rest shakes out, Brooks at that price is a win they earned. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In No. 19 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Restrepo in Round 2, Pick 22. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They talked themselves into Jake Majors at the 74th pick, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at the 86th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in pick 110 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
They will replay Danny Stutsman at pick No. 113 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant in the 139th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick145 Rnd5 Trey Moore
Value said wait; Trey Moore in pick 145 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick162 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
They reached a country mile for Theo Wease Jr. at Round 5, Pick 25, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Taking Tahj Brooks in pick No. 227 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
