The Panthers did not so much draft Dylan Fairchild as overpay for him, 30 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
