Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 16: the Panthers steal Sabb and grade out a B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Panthers were there to profit. Keon Sabb, the No. 105 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 230.

If Bech pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Mason Graham
By-the-book stuff, Mason Graham at slot 5 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick48 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
They will replay James Pearce Jr. at Round 2, Pick 16 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jack Sawyer
Taking Jack Sawyer in pick 70 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Value with a capital V on Deontae Lawson in pick No. 106, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
A safety of that caliber at the 114th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick140 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
They took Parker Brailsford at par in the 140th pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at No. 145 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159 Rnd5 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick221 Rnd7 Chris Paul Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Chris Paul Jr. in pick No. 221, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230 Rnd7 Keon Sabb
Circle this one: Keon Sabb at the 230th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
