Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Andru Phillips got past him. The Panthers do not have to explain a thing at the Round 5 slot. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
