Draft Review: What they're saying

You know the drill by now. When NFL Draft grades are handed out moments after the draft concludes, they must be taken with a grain of salt.

With that in mind, here's how some analysts evaluated Carolina's 2015 draft class.

Grade: C

Kiper wasn't high on linebacker Shaq Thompson or wide receiver Devin Funchess prior to the draft, so his grade doesn't come as a surprise. He also wanted Carolina to select an offensive tackle with one of those first two picks. Kiper believes the Panthers added "useful pieces" but continues to assert the offensive line is an issue.
