It's no secret that the Carolina Panthers still have a ways to go in their quest to upgrade their defense into a competitive squad. Completely revamped defensive line and edge rushing units look better on paper, but still present as giant questionmarks until fans get to see them in action. The secondary, however, has received little attention.
The only significant addition has been fifth round draft pick Lathan Ransom at safety. Otherwise the headlines have been about retaining talent, such as with the re-signing of Mike Jackson and extending of Jaycee Horn.
The Panthers have serious depth concerns behind Horn and Jackson at corner.
