Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Panthers.

Every other box got a look, but wide receiver did not. The Panthers will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
