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. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The cost of the Burden III reach is exactly the players who went right after him. On the needs board they went 1 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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