Mayock?s Top 20 - No McFadden

No Glen Dorsey? Really? And Kentwan Balmer is so good that he gets to be on there twice?

 

Honestly I'm glad some one else is starting to wise up. I don't think Mcfadden is going to be this superhuman Runningback that most people do, I think he runs to high, and that all he does is run by people at the college level. Granted great speed can never be taught, and it is a huge advantage, however, if all he can do is run by people, that won't work in the pro's.... He will turn into Reggie Bush Jr.

 

I doubt he's Bush...he's bigger and stronger than Bush...but I'm in the camp that Stewart and Mendenhall are just as good as prospects...

 

This is why I think we should trade him to dallas if we get him. Getting two firsts a third and a guy like Marcus Spears could really help this team.

 

He fumbles. A lot. Oh, the itis! But hey, the whole world thinks he is amazing, so what is there to argue with? He's an amazing athlete. Athlete does not equal football player, but it sure as hell helps.

 

Reggie Bush is good. I don't know why you guys think he's a bust. The Saints have a garbage o-line, just like the Jets.

Bush picks up all-purpose yards. A lot of backs can't catch the ball and be a huge factor in the return game like him. He has better hands than a lot of receivers. To call him a bust so soon is ridiculous. You think he's a bust because he was the fastest guy on the football field in college and he just can't run by defenses anymore? There's a HUGE up in the speed of the game when you switch from college to the pros. He's still most likely the fastest guy on the field in the NFL, and he's a threat to score every time - even if he doesn't score every time. Just give him at least 4 years to adjust. He's not the TYPICAL running back, he's a phenom. He's fuckin' Reggie Bush.

The Saints were a bad team this year, and Bush was a victim of that. He still produced pretty solid numbers in an offense that was in shambles.

As for McFadden, and Stewart not being in the draft's top 20...that's a little ridiculous. I'm with Mayock on Mendenhall being the best -- I've been saying it for a while, but McFadden and Stewart are still top 20 prospects. Limas fuckin' Sweed in the top 20? I like the guy, but how can he be in the top 20, over so many talented players, after being injured all season?

 

Yeah, that offensive line did not have a good year.

 

Wow, not anywhere in the Top 20? Most people have him as the top talent available in this draft.

 

I understand having Stewart over McFadden. But McFadden nowhere in your top 20? I'd love an explanation.

 

Matt Ryan looks stellar on that tape.

 

Bush as a reciever >>>>>>>>>>> Bush as a RB

And the Saints had a crappy O-line...but last year their O-line was phenomenal. Bush still didn't impress all that much (as a runner) beyond the nationally televised Giants game...by far more the outlier than the norm.

He still dances way too much in the backfield, and doesn't run with a whole lot of power. RB is one of the easiest positions to translate to the NFL from college...but Bush doesn't have the lower body power or aggressiveness of a pro RB and it's been showing.

And yea...Mayock's rankings this year are weird...

 

To bad he can't catch.

 

I love how some people can compare R.Bush to D.McFadden.... Its just laughable in my eyes. They are two different types of players

R.Bush is a "WR" playing as a RB

D.McFadden is a RB playing as a RB

D.McFadden over R.Bush in terms of playing out of the backfield any day of the week.

 

Mayock echoes my personal thoughts on McFadden. I have not been impressed really at all. Seems like our draft is going to come to picking Gholston, but I would love to trade down if we can.

 

With rumors of the Bengals switching to a 3-4, could they be the team that would trade up?

 

McFadden is there now as #2 of 21. Someone must have fucked up.
