Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Panthers let Bowman Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The Panthers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Billy Bowman Jr., the No. 86 name on the board, in pick No. 143. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mason Graham
A clean, defensible pick in Round 1, Pick 14 with a little surplus value in Mason Graham. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick45 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
James Pearce Jr. at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick49 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at pick 49 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Booker at the 65th pick is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Steal is underselling it; Jalen Milroe at the 80th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick102 Rnd4 David Bailey
A edge rusher of that caliber at No. 102 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in slot 139 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
They robbed the room for Billy Bowman Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159 Rnd5 Blake Miller
Blake Miller in No. 159 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd7 Maxwell Hairston
Taking Maxwell Hairston in the 217th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Circle this one: Jalon Daniels at slot 243 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
