There is conviction, and then there is this. The Panthers took Caleb Banks a full 23 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

If Caleb Banks and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
