Draft Grade — Panthers

Good, not great, for the Panthers: B-. Everything else got attention, and wide receiver got none. That is a strange way for the Panthers to leave a draft.
If Kennard pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
Kyle Kennard
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kyle Kennard. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
