When you reach version 3.0 of mock draft season, you’re looking for any nugget of inspiration to help get you to the finish line. Carolina Panthers general manager Dan Morgan provideth. During a pre-draft news conference last week with Morgan and first-year coach Dave Canales, both stressed they aren’t just looking for playmakers to put around Bryce Young. Morgan specifically said the focus was finding players who could score on offense and make things happen on defense. And then Morgan dared the mock drafters in the room to read the tea leaves and figure out whom the Panthers might be targeting.
