The Panthers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

They are betting Wiley proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
