Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Panthers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, safety very much included.
