Very happy that we didn't take Polk. I question Polk's ability to stay healthy and contribute at the NFL level. Ganaway has a higher ceiling and will prove to be a very useful addition. He has consistently improved each yr. and I am loving his flexibility for use in the tebow packages. Very Good Pick here.
Polk is obviously injured--There is a reason hes still available. It's the 6th round--If one of these guys pans out and contributes it will be a success
I wanted LeGarrette Blount a few years ago, and Ganaway has that same type of power in a back that I really wanted for the ground and pound. I love this pick, and I really hope he pans out.
Looking at Ganaway's highlight reel, that's the first thing that came to mind too. He's the ideal RB I want back there with Tebow running the spread option.
Exactly and RTG is a good OG who is also useful in terms of his option experience - Ability to play in the Tebow packages.
Ganaway showcase Here's his game vs Missouri. In particular look at the runs at 1:18 and then again at 2:04 Then realize he is 239 lbs. This will be a very good pick choice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qO7pobuutNg&feature=related
THIS is my boy.....a "bettis" type runner that just wears on defense as that 4th Q comes...would like to see him get up to 260lb ish
Breaks tackles, has a nice sidestep movement for his size, big and powerful. This draft has apprently beeen about size and speed. I am happy with the picks.
You probably already figured this out but Polk has a degenerative hip. Not good news for a young man, doubt he lasts long in the league.
I was banging this drum so hard for months to sign this guy. Hes not as strong as his size suggests his he could be, but his potential is high. Hes got a high YPC, and plenty of grit and strength. Not a great blocker, but he has the size to become one. Was rated highly by some teams as one of the better fullback prospects in the draft (brings versatility). Terrible receiver. This guy will NOT be a starting HB this year, and probably not next. But he could eventually be once he gets refined in receiving/blocking. This guy CAN immediately get carries, and I think could be a legit bruiser. This guy could develope and continue to bulk for another year or 2, so his upside is amazing (for when he was drafted). I knew from the moment I saw this guy he was a rex ryan kinda fucking player, so I think we should all be pretty damn excited to have him on board.
wow I love that highlight reel. He has pretty good speed for such a big dude. He really does look like he'll be a steal in the 6th.. Lets hope he can catch some passes. Could be a Tolbert-type guy..
I love Ganaway, but hes a heaping steaming pile of shit when it comes to recieving passes. He had RG3 at qb and did nothing in the passing game, and looked awful fielding passes at the combine. That said hes got great speed for his size, and after some time with Rex i love his upside
You would think that we would finally strike gold eventually with all of these mid to late round picks... I hope we use a backfield by committee and feed the hot hand and hopefully come up with something, because Greene simply isnt the answer at the position. Ganaway runs faster on tape than timed and has pretty good wiggle. I like the pick.
He kinda looks like Greene. That works for me since Greene will need to be spelled occasionally and we don't have another back like that on the roster. With Tebow getting his runs, Greene and Ganaway getting theirs, I hope this isn't another invisible McKnight year.
