Call it larceny. Beau Brade sat on the board until Round 5, Pick 30, and the Panthers did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The trade work was a quiet net positive. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

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