The Panthers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 6th pick on Harold Perkins Jr. a full 87 spots early. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 1 of 9 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and wide receiver is still a hole.
