Larceny in pick No. 163 lands the Panthers a B-, Majors and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jake Majors had no business being available in pick 163, and the Panthers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Kennard lower, and that gap is the story.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 8 they get a load in the middle. More want than need.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Value said wait; Kyle Kennard in the Round 2 slot says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 74th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Circle this one: Malachi Moore at pick 109 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas slipping to No. 112 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 139 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They read the board right and Oronde Gadsden II was the payoff at the 145th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at Round 5, Pick 26 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather in No. 227 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
