High motor, and can occupy a blocker if not defeat him. Question is, can he consistenly be handled by the center or will he require an occasional double team to move. Mind you, he doesnt have to beat the single blocker and penetrate, just make them use a 2nd blocker to move him out of the way.

Well, one of the best NT's in the game, Jay Ratliff, is only 303. He's showing that you can still play a successful 3-4 with a penetrating nose tackle.

When Golston plays nose tackle in place of Kemo or Montgomery...

I'll believe it when I see it. Unless he can get to about 310-315. Or unless that is on passing downs. Now THAT could see.

But I see him as a defensive end.

You beat me to it. Actually, I think Ratliff is the best NT in the game right now.

I like Golson as a Redskin.
Yes Ratliff is listed at 303, but he is much stronger than Golston.
Ratliff can disrupt and can break through double teams. Golston not as much. It is doubtful Golston will wake up tomorrow and play like Ratliff. He would have shown the ability by now. Golston is a good DL.
