Future B-

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Panthers left wide receiver untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Hill Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · T.J. Parker · DE-EDGE · rank 22
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T.J. Parker. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Anthony Hill Jr. · LB · rank 39
The board had Anthony Hill Jr. higher than Round 2, Pick 19, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Connor Lew · C · rank 82
They took Connor Lew at par in No. 83, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
