Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Panthers spent Round 2, Pick 19 on Boo Carter, a name most had 167 spots down the list. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

They banked enough surplus on Hubbard to cover a lot of smaller sins. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
