10 days away

by Jagjivan on Apr 17, 2008 1:04 PM PDT Comment 26 comments

The NFL Draft is almost 10 days away but it looks the fans on S&BP don't know who to get. It looks like a defense is the main solution to our run-stopping needs but other say we need an offensive player. I want either Chris Long or Vernon Gholston. I don't think we should think of picks as a "Pick you can't miss!" or something like that. We should think throughly about who to pick. What do ya'll think?

WTF

Well...

It's hard to tell who we should pick because we don't know who will be availible. If Chris Long is still in it at number 4 then hell yeah we should get him. But it all depends on how it all lays out.

I say Gholston

because Chris won't be there. If not Gholston, at least Glenn Dorsey (a pick I prefer, but one we shouldn't make) Defense is the biggest need, not RB; the least of our worries!

Give Jag a break(for once)his part of the nation..

no matter how "uninformed"

We have to go with Matt Ryan and trade Russell...
haha
alright that was a transition anyways
we'll sad news Matt Ryan is NOT going to the Falcons even his lover Mayock doesn't have him their

Atlanta will take Dorsey/JLong off the board sooo that leaves us with Mcfadden and Gholston
the #1 rated player versus #6 (Kind of obvious)
Ellis is a Trojan so NO!!UCLA class of 20 12!!

SOMEONE SHOULD POST A DIARY ENCOURAGING THE NATION TO MAKE THIER OWN BIG BOARD FOR ONLY THE RAIDERS SHOULD BE INTERESTING

Here's what I Think

I think Miami will take J. Long. St. Louis will take Dorsey. Altanta will not pass up Matt Ryan. Then the RRRRRRAAAAIIIDAAZZZ (Boomer), will grab homeboy Chris Long. Vernon will be great also.

Ryan's dropping....

Dorsey in St. Louis??...That means moving Cariker to end and his coming off a shoulder injury

Oo nice call

I didn't think about Carrikker. Dey got Glover on the other side right. Damn, dey set at the DT position. And they do need a DE. Lets hope they go with Vernon then.

The Rams ain't stupid

they'll know to take a talent like C.Long and we'll be stuck with a player WE DON'T NEED!!!!!

Mcfadden is not a need but luxury

Haha

lol, luxury. I can't disagree. He is a great talent. But I rather address needs before luxury.

You know what

I believe Gholston could turn out great for us. I think we are set at DT. Gholston is so quick and aggressive. He looks like a raider too. Hella big and muscular. But then again, Chris Long is better than him.

there's one big issue

his ability to stop the run. There's a lot of question marks about that.

I thought he was pretty good

with the run. I hardly see him missing tackles. Maybe pass coverage. I don't see a brain urlacher in him, but i do see a young and inexperience Julian Peterson in him.

im not sold on Gholston

To me it will forever feel like having "second best talent"
I would not pass up on Chris Long
I find it interesting how Dorsey has not had alot of consideration at 4 I would pick Dorsey over Vernon

I think Dorsey could be very good

but a lot of people didn't like the suggestion of that. I have a problem with injuries for him. But it's a been a long time since he played, so he's probably just fine!

His training day

was pretty impressive to tell the truth. I wouldn't mind him either

My dream draft picks

are us taking either C.Long, V.Gholston, or G.Dorsey. If not, it'll be McFadden which I still don't mind in the least. But I still don't want him.
