Look again.
You do realize how ridiculous that sounds, right? Fact is, you don't know, I don't know, NFL teams don't know who will be good or not. Remember when Robert Gallery was a sure-fire blue-chipper, how bout Charles Rogers, how bout David Carr, how bout...would you like me to go on? Now, unless you can see into the future, your statement is rather silly.
Gholston should and will be drafted before Chris Long.
How about telling me why the Rams should take Gholston?
Rams need another OL before they take Golston . . .
31 sacks last year?Killer Little old and injury prone?James Hall old and injury prone?Personally, I hope they draft another TE
I have loved his mocks in the past, and measure most to his but he seems to have slacked a little this year. Not quite as in tune w/ each team as he has been in the past. IDK, maybe he has a personal life tooDallas passes on Stewart to reach for Talib and settle for Felix.He made a great point earlier in the mock about waiting on a corner because of the depth, yet he doesn't apply it to Dallas with ONE of the top three backs available and a half dozen similar corners. Then with the next pick go down and start another tier at RB? I hope he's wrong. It sure doesn't make sense. Neatly fitting Felix to Dallas (Ark connection baloney) and Stewart to Seattle (hometown boy) just seem like lazy projections to me. But who knows? For those who hate this mock, Scott has been as good as any in the past. His 05 mock was impressive.
If you read my earlier post, I'm not denying that the Rams need a DE, I just want them to take the right one (Chris Long).31 sacks last year?Killer Little old and injury prone?James Hall old and injury prone?Personally, I hope they draft another TE
I think Scott Wright said "if you get Gholston's speed and athleticism coming off the edge on the turf in that dome and you could really have something"If you read my earlier post, I'm not denying that the Rams need a DE, I just want them to take the right one (Chris Long).31 sacks last year?Killer Little old and injury prone?James Hall old and injury prone?Personally, I hope they draft another TE
eta--my bad, i missed your earlier post about Long. thought you were anti DE
I would do the happy-happy jig if Gholston goes before Long.Long is a two way player right now, and there are legit questions as to whether Gholston will ever be force vs. the run. I think it is craziness that Gholston may be ranked over Long, personally.I think Scott Wright said "if you get Gholston's speed and athleticism coming off the edge on the turf in that dome and you could really have something"If you read my earlier post, I'm not denying that the Rams need a DE, I just want them to take the right one (Chris Long).31 sacks last year?Killer Little old and injury prone?James Hall old and injury prone?Personally, I hope they draft another TE
Ask a Raider fan about taking the athlete over the football player. I'll take the football player. And the other things Long brings to the field cannot be discounted.Not that Gholston is a workout warrior. But Gholston may not get much bigger. If not, he better be a 12 sack edge rusher. I am not sure I see that explosive first step from Gholston.
How's that theory working out for Al Davis?Crap, you beat me to it...
That's what I am excited about. There are 7 year vets that don't use their hands as well as Son of Howie.Anyway, regarding the mock, I just happen to think that Scott kind of reacts to what others are saying and kind of follows the herd. I don't think his sources are as good as others and I think you get more profiles and deeper analysis elsewhere. It's a fine site, and hey, it's free, but I am not crazy about the site.
Scott's a minor leaguer when compared to major media pundits assigned to the draft beat, but he is authentic. He has sincere sources, scouts, coaches, etc. He has driven the conversation a few times in the past, not followed it. He was the first (I knew of) to raise Bunkley and Ware high in DL rankings. In both cases the media seemed to follow him. I agree his site is lightweight, rankings archives are unimpressive, profiles are not substantial. Most of it stems from it being a one man operation, but he's a good man and completely devoted to the topic. I can assure you he listens to very few outside opinions unless they are well-sourced. He's his own man.massraider said:
