He also has Gholston moving up to the 7th overall pick of the draft. Picking Vernon up at 5 may no longer be a reach.
I'm starting to like the idea of Gholston honestly. I am a huge fan of taking McFadden and if he's there, I think he has got to be the pick. But I don't think I'm too crazy about either Long. I think Chris will be a bad fit for our D and I just don't think Jake Long is worth a top pick.
If McFadden is gone, we HAVE to take Gholston, no question about it. But if both McFadden and Gholston are there at our pick, it is gonna be a very tough call, and truly I don't know who we would go with. Long, I would be really pissed if we ended up drafting him if Gholston and/or McFadden is still available.
If the Pats do pick ahead of us theres no way they pass on McFadden and agree with Scotts comments. BUT NE are going to need LBs very soon as their core is getting a bit long in the tooth , so I wouldn't be surprised at all if they traded down.
I agree, McFadden or the best pass rushing OLB. Gholston, or if he turns out to be a better prospect, Groves.
yea, i'm definitely not hellbent on taking Mcfadden at this point. i think the OL must must must be address first in FA. that will allow us to draft a playmaker like Gholston. this D has shown some flashes and has come up with some big stops when needed. half of the Secondary has Pro Bowl potential; Daivd Harris is a machine; adding someone like Gholston makes opposing Offenses have to worry about another guy. that's priceless. can you imagine getting Ryan, bringing with him Suggs, and then drafting Gholston?
trading chad, vilma should give us more draft picks I think Mcareins will give us an extra 6 rounder jejejeje plus we have an extra 4 for Pete Kendalll
I would much rather us put our Money on T.Suggs than A.Samuel... If we were to sign Suggs... Then we MUST KEEP VILMA to be our #2 IMLB in the 3-4 Alongside D.Harris. Suggs-Vilma-Harris-Barton/Thomas would be one of the best Linebacking units the NFL has seen in some time. But at the same time, I feel the Ravens are going to do what the Jets did to John Abe... And franchise Suggs.
We aren't gonna be able to get T. Suggs unless we trade for him. I really like this gholston kid...he is a shawne Merriman clone. He plays really physically and is a pass rush specialist. Which we desperately need. Take Gholston or Chris Long and I will be happy.
He's going to get a franchise tag from Baltimore. I'm a big fan of Gholston as well, I guess we'll have to wait and see how he does in the national championship.
Gholston for sure. but (and i'm not trying to single you out, for there are others who also think this way) if one of our major problems along the DL is a lack of size and strength for this scheme, why would you want Chris Long? shouldn't we be looking for bigger bodies? i haven't seen Long play a lot, but from what i've read, i don't know if he's what we need on our D.
