Draft Grade — Panthers

Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the Panthers a B, Boettcher and all.

Somebody in Round 6, Pick 8 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Panthers sat still while Bryce Boettcher, the No. 148 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
They will replay Anthony Hill Jr. at Round 2, Pick 6 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jalon Kilgore
They paid sticker price for Jalon Kilgore in slot 70, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan is a better player than pick No. 106 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 Logan Jones
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Logan Jones at the 145th pick is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick184 Rnd6 Bryce Boettcher
Taking Bryce Boettcher in pick 184 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd7 Peyton Bowen
No drama and no debate, Peyton Bowen went about where he belonged in the 219th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
