Panthers met extensively with 6-4/336-pound DT Eddie Goldman

Just be glad the Falcons and Bucs are too damn stupid to draft the way that DG does. ATL will probably trade their picks for AP. The Bucs will probably draft Jameis and whiff on everyone else...

Lance Zierlein of NFL.com has Goldman on his list of the 10 safest prospects in the draft:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000488373/article/brandon-scherff-amari-cooper-among-drafts-safest-prospects

"Goldman is big and strong, and does one thing as well as just about any defensive lineman in this draft -- he holds his ground. Teams looking at Goldman understand that he's not a pass rusher and he will probably come off the field on pass-rushing downs. However, his job will be to eat up gaps and hold the point of attack against the run, and he's a very safe bet to do just that. Goldman carries the 330-plus pounds on his frame exceptionally well, and has rare smoothness of movement for a player that size. Goldman is a safe pick and player."

(reminder: Gettleman said in January: “If there’s a quality defensive end or defensive lineman there, it’s hard for me to pass him up.”)

yay for 0-0 tie every game

Need that elite d-line back like 2013. If Ealy turns into a stud and we get this guy, holy sh*t. Don't even bother trying to run on us or drop back to pass. Just kneel every play so you don't get your players killed.

won't matter on a cold january night in seattle when we're down 10-6 in the fourth quarter

I get wanting offense, I really do, but it's not like we don't have at the moment 8 other picks to address it with and Gettleman's been awesome in later rounds and udfa.

[Fidel Cashflow]

I really like this guy I just hope we don't take him at 25.

Our offense wasn't the problem in Seattle this year. We put up enough points to win the game. D didn't do its job.

Please explain to me how Eddie would not immediately improve our already dominate D-Line...I for one would be thrilled. Matt Ryan, drew brees, and Jameis Winston would sh1t themselves.

I wouldn't expect Goldman to really be in on passing downs. Hopefully he would keep Star fresh, and allow Short/Edwards to be exclusively for passing downs. 

[WOW!!]

Let's treat DT like we did Rb.. Sooner or later you can't pay them all and end up giving a DT in his prime to another team..

[Kuech the Sneak]

Don't think he does enough as a pass rusher to warrant a first round pick

At least we can put 2-3 overpaid D-lineman on the field at the same time without running a shitty gimmicky offense that gets Newton killed and makes us look like dumbasses.

You don't need all 1st or 2nd round talent DT'S to field a dominant defense. .

We have 2 young starters 2 vets and Kyle Love.. It's a luxury pick for a team that can't afford that luxury. .
