Panthers bring in DT Walter Nolen for 30-visit

We met with him at the senior bowl too... there is interest but no telling the severity.  I'd assume if he slid to rd 3 or maybe round 2 if they feel the defensive guys could guide him like the Boys on the eagles defense did with Carter etc.

He's really good, but yeah, major character concerns. Don't see us going DT anyway.

That is what I thought, but this draft is LOADED.  I think we take one --NT Brown III, Rookie NT, DEs--Brown, Robinson, Wharton, ROOKIE DE, but we have Tuttle, Ray, and Crumedy on the roster--so we could be done-

We missed out on Milton Williams, Wharton is nice but he’s rotational DT. Make no mistake, Nolen is a top 10 on pure talent alone. I wouldn’t be surprised if we took him @8         

We are adding a DT--(not sure if NT or DE or both)

If bringing him in for a in house thirty visit must be significant interest.  Not saying they take him at 8 but they must like him.

Apparently Nolan removed himself from a game last year and Kiffin said he thought he was going back in but Walter said he wasn’t and couldn’t go.  Lots of questions about whether he really cares about the team or playing in general

His tape is as good as Grahams and he damn near unblockable. He hasn't been an issue on the field much but did have something goin on with Kiffin, so vetting what's going on off the field is going on hard. I could see him as a trade back pick if they feel he checks out. I know with Derrick brown in place, he wouldn't be in line to cut up. We will see.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
