Dan Morgan wants to strengthen the Carolina Panthers' options on the defensive edge this offseason. The general manager values draft picks highly, preferring to build through the college ranks for cheap, hungry options who can fully buy into the team's plans. It's not too hard to connect the dots.
The Panthers don't have much cash to spend in free agency, though that will change once the desired roster moves become public. Morgan will look at the veteran market for pass-rushing help, but he will also examine this year's crop of draft prospects in great detail to see if there is someone who can help get this ambitious team over the hump.
