Big bull power runner right here. Not sure he has the first step to be starter level, but at the very least he's a goalline/short yardage option with some upside. Surprised he's still available actually
Teams are keeping off of Polk due to a shoulder issue. That's a big time problem to be considered for a ground & pound offense. Maybe a team like GB takes a shot on him.
I don't really understand the move picking him. I would have expected a compliment to Greene, but not the same player as Greene. However, Welcome!!!
WE have Greene, we have a compliment to Greene (McKnight), and we have the same as Greene (Powell). So far none of them are the answer.
Bill Polian thinks the Jets drafted Hill(played in the option) Gannaway(Played in the option) to create a package for Tebow. Very interesting.
This was my favorite pick other than Hill. He was a monster in 2011 playing with RG111. 246 yds vs Texas Tech/ 200 yds and 5 TD's in the Alamo Bowl. School records all over the place in 2011. He is a straight ahead power runner, with just enough burst. I really like this pick! Sparano wants ground and pound? He had to draft a RB who could do that. Greene and him with McKnight make a nice trio. Hope Powell turns into a player. But Ganaway to me looks like really good value. And the O-lineman right after was nice to see too.
Can't believe we skipped on Chris Polk. I do like Ganaway but I can't believe we passed up on Polk. Polk has round 2 talent but has fallen due to his work ethic heading into this draft....he would have been EASILY the steal of the draft if we got him in round 6. I like Ganaway but hate the pick because we took him over the better player in Polk.
I heard that Polk had some kind of degenerative issue with his legs or something, But Ganaway is 239 lbs so him and Greene will Pound the defense, but McKnight is also supposedly trying to bulk up this off-season so wheres the compliment to the big guys then?
Polk is a very physical back and I can see him getting dinged up but he has playmaking ability and I still think wherever he lands up he will be making that GM look very savvy. Had him and Brandon Washington in my favorite 10. http://forums.theganggreen.com/showthread.php?t=71962 I am just so let down and I am just hoping our trio of 6th rounders can contribute.
Polk also has a shoulder condition too. His ability to stay on the field is a major red flag. Especially considering his running style. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a UDFA.
