19. Carolina Panthers: Akheem Mesidor, edge, Miami
General Manager Dan Morgan, a member of the Hurricanes’ Ring of Honor, isn’t going to draft a Miami player because of the connections to his alma mater. But it wouldn’t hurt, especially with the Panthers in the market for a charged-up edge rusher
51. Carolina Panthers: Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech
I’m speculating here, but I think it is fair to say Rodriguez is the type of linebacker that Morgan would greatly appreciate. Because of Rodriguez’s toughness, athleticism and instincts, this would be a great fit for both sides.
