Grand theft in slot 223: the Panthers steal Brooks and grade out a B.

The Panthers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tahj Brooks, the No. 112 name on the board, in pick No. 223. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

If Alexander pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 5th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A real head-scratcher, Kenneth Grant in Round 2, Pick 15 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick71 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in No. 71 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick107 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
They talked themselves into Zy Alexander at pick 107, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
Taking Tyler Warren in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at the 139th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Somehow Deontae Lawson was still sitting there in pick No. 143, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 160 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at slot 223 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter is a better player than pick No. 231 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
