Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Panthers never addressed wide receiver, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

Every board in the league had Williams lower, and that gap is the story. They went 1 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
