Edwards arrives with a simple, useful job: make the interior harder to run through. The late trade means a quick learning curve, but the Panthers clearly saw enough value to spend a pick for depth at a premium position.
Strengths: Run-stopping profile, trade investment, size, and initial-53 role.
Weaknesses: Late arrival means limited scheme time and his early role will likely be rotational.
