Carolina spent more money at defensive tackle than any team in the league this year and they’ll need to let some of their older interior linemen walk if they’re going to field a more balanced roster. Should Dontari Poe and Gerald McCoy wind up leaving, adding a prospect like Lawrence (6-foot-2, 308 pounds) on Day 2 could help fill the void. He’s posted 6.5 sacks, 16 tackles for a loss and six pass breakups over the last two years.
