25. Eddie Goldman, DT, FSU: 88

Pros: Goldman is a big, big man, and a surprising athlete. Goldman shifted inside from playing defensive end, and even though he weighs 335 plus pounds he shows a surprising burst and short area quickness. Goldman is a violent force inside based on his athleticism and heavy hands. His range of potential is very wide. He could be the next Vince Wilfork or the next Albert Haynesworth as a prototypical space eater with surprising big play ability.

Cons: Due to his size, Goldman is a natural nose tackle which means he may be limited in his role. Scouts love massive and disruptive forces inside and due to that, Goldman makes the creative juices flow in a defensive mind. He is a bit of a gamble, but could have one heck of a payoff.
