Edwards, who is also head coach of Wales Under 20 believes the club need to invest in their youth structure if they are to succeed.
"Yes it is a job I want, it is a tough job but a good job," said Edwards.
"The message to the board is to improve our infrastructure and we will develop these players.
"These young players need exposure and if we bring in players from oversees then how do we expose our young players?
"They would have taken up some of those slots out there against Gloucester and we would never have known how good our boys are.
"We're in a massive transition at the Dragons at the moment and exposing these guys to the game today will help us in the future.
"That foreign player market will not be there for ever and we must make sure we have Welsh players coming through and hopefully our young players will be different in two or there years time."
