The Panthers' one glaring miss is cornerback, a need they left exactly as they found it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The cost of the Williams reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
