You can draft well and still miss the point. The Panthers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to cornerback, which was the need that mattered most. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Walker reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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