You can draft well and still miss the point. The Panthers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to cornerback, which was the need that mattered most. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They will need Bell to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Sturdivant falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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