Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall

Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Panthers. For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Panthers walked out of the weekend still thin at cornerback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.
They are betting Kennard proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In the 8th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57
Rnd2
Kyle Kennard
They went early on Kyle Kennard in slot 57, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
