Well, Griffin is certainly the more solid of the two, but that doesn't say much anymore. My opinion of Griffin is more of a projection - I just don't see him being consistently healthy and penetrating the line of scrimmage the way he did in '04 and '05.
I also don't get the fascination with Kedric Golston. I know we as fans were thrilled at the notion that one of our 6th round picks was able to get playing time in his rookie year, giving the false impression that he was good enough to start. He wasn't. His playing time had more to do with the aforementioned injuries of the two starters than anything else. Golston had his moments, but you need look no further than our ranking against the run to admit that he's got some cleatmarks in his chest too.
