Dave Gettleman can’t get enough hog mollies.

Despite having a pair of young starting defensive tackles, the Panthers General Manager added another one, using the 30th pick on Louisiana Tech big man Vernon Butler.

The Panthers just picked up the fifth-year option on 2013 first-round Star Lotulelei, and want to extend 2013 second-rounder Kawann Short.

But Gettleman loves having depth up front, and now the Panthers can put Butler alongside free agent pickup Paul Soliai and give the defending NFC champs one of the most solid interior lines in the NFL.

They have bigger needs, but they like big bodies, and this gives them another one.
