The Panthers lost the trade table, and the C- tells the story.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Panthers shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

Reaching for Carter Jr. left real value on the table behind him. The Baugh pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver, cornerback and other spots still on the board.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Chris Cole
In the Round 1 slot they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jadan Baugh
Of all the spots to shop, they chose running back. Jadan Baugh in No. 41 leaves wide receiver, cornerback and other spots for later.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kade Pieper
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kade Pieper in the 51st overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Terrance Carter Jr.
A want over a need in slot 83: Terrance Carter Jr. adds a tight end while wide receiver, cornerback and other spots keeps waiting.
