The Panthers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice wide receiver is still a hole. The Panthers never got to the one that mattered most.

Reaching for Johnson left real value on the table behind him. On the needs board they went 1 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 8 they get a potential shutdown corner, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
