    i'm pretty dissapointed with this pick, however given the situation (C.Long Ryan and McFadden all off the board) i think we had no choice

    When was the last time Oakland made a solid first round pick?

    Wait, how did the Jets miss hiring you for your immense expertise in evaluating talent? I think you should get your resume right into management ASAP so they finally bring some experience to their decision making process!

    Either that, or you have less than no idea what your talking about, let history decide...

    OLB for sure, he's going to be a pass rushing freak off the corner.

    The argument for the pick is that it addresses an area of critical weakness in the non-existent pass rush and also that if we have a regime change after this season Gholston can go back to DE in a 4-3 if that happens.

    I'm neutral on the pick and believe it will either work out or drive Tangini out of town. I hope that it's the former.

    I hope he's not a ghost. Ghosts could be there but you'd never know. I want a guy thats visible, in your face, and downright nasty. :grin:

    I meant "Ghost" as in he comes out of nowhere and scares the shit out of you, making you freak out and run away like a bitch, scared out of your mind- like those shows where the haunted houses scare the visitors and they cry. :rofl: :)

    He had as many sacks as Chris Long, against better competition

    I don't know if I'm sold on Chris Long, either. Just my two cents.

    I didnt want Gholston but he's a Jet now and i will suport him hopefully he proves me wrong and can make me look stupid.
    Hopefully he could be a Shawne Merimane type cause that is definetly what we need.

    Couldn't be any happier with the pick, exactly who I wanted all along. Our defense is one step closer to becoming elite.

    Let me guess, you wanted Ryan. This pick was perfect. Gholston will be a name people are saying for years. (in a good way)
