    What move should Mike and Eric make?

    Its time once and for all to put an end to the madness. Pick an option and the board will speak for itself. I don't know who the hell they want and I'm done speculating, maybe for fun but i'm not putting my hopes on any player.

    Who is best for this team?

    I'd probably take Gholston, but would be happy with McFadden as well.

    At this point, I'm starting to warm up more and more to taking Domonique Rodgers-Cromartie and locking up our cornerback position for 5 years on initial rookie contracts. This guy is 6'1", ran a 4.33 at the combine, led all cornerbacks in just about every combine drill (verticle, short shuttles, etc, etc) and was a terrific on the field producer.

    I think McFadden has too much bust potential and Gholston will likely be gone, but even if he isn't, I think cornerback is a bigger need.

    Other option is to trade down, but that is very hit or miss....

    Draft the BPA, which if he is available would be McFadden. The fact that he fills a huge need makes it that much easier..

    Trade down unless Long (either one) or Gholston drops to us.

    Trade up to get Long but only if he is there at #3.
     
  9. I want us to not be afraid of taking any player REGARDLESS of position and take the best player available at # 6. If the best available is not worthy of the pick based on scout EVALUATION and not Mike Mayock or not being a glaring need....we can explore trading down for more picks and better value.

    Trading down should not have been an option for this poll. It is very easy to sit in front of your computer in mid March and say that trading down is the best option. It is not quite as easy as that when they are on the clock and have 15 minutes to generate interest and get fair value back in the process.

    When was the last time a team traded into the top 10?

    Ill take McKelvin- Hes considered by some to be the best cornerback, the "safe choice" Cromartie is the combine freak- I dont trust those types- Anyway he would give our team an elite secondary and he would also be able to return punts (He was considered the best return man in the country). Also NE is desperate for secondary help and as much as everyone claims they want Gholston, I cant see them doing anything other than drafting a cornerback with their first pick. Let them have the combine freak who was projected to be a 2nd round pick just a couple weeks ago. We can take the safer, more polished choice (McKelvin).

    to have McKelvin returning punts to go with Washington and Miller on kickoffs will allow us to dominate the field position game.

    First you say McFadden is the BPA, which I firmly believe he isn't so it's really a matter of opinion, then you say he fills a "huge need". What huge need? The one where we now have 3 guys in that position?

    When I think "huge need", I think of our NT situation up until a few days ago. Or our OLine's right side. I definitely don't think about "Oh, we only have TJ, Leon, and now Chatman, so we have a huge hole to fill at RB".

    By your same thinking, it's really easy to have stars in your eyes looking at McFadden here in March. Reggie Bush was getting some ridiculous attention about this time a couple years ago too.

    McFadden is a gimmick player. Any time I watched him play, it was gadget plays that gave him success. Thanks, but we run enough goofy plays with Brad Smith as it is.

    Yes he fills a huge need, this team is desperate for playmakers and there is no bigger playmaker in the draft. You dont pass on the BPA because we already have 3 JAGS already on the roster..

    Yes it is easy to have stars in your eyes when looking at McFadden, he is that good. I really have no idea what point you are trying to make about BUsh, who NO thought was the BPA so they took him even though they already had a RB on their roster that was far better than any RB we currently have on our roster.

    The fact that you think McFadden is a gimmick player and only has success on gadget plays tells me you really havent seen McFadden play all that much, so your opinion of him doesn't really mean much to me.

    The fact is whether you guys want to believe it or not is he fills a huge need for this team and if he is available chances are he will be the BPA.

    A better poll would say DMac, Gholston, McKelvin, or DRC.

    You absolutely trade down. Unless either Long is on the board then you pick them. If Mcfadden is there make the move with Dallas. And with those picks take the best CB available and the WR from Michigan state with the second first rounder.

    I agree. The more I think of this, the more I wantMcFadden. Gholston to me has one dimension, get to the QB. Sure he's an athletic freak, but can he cover people? Can he be such an impact pass rusher that he'd be worth the 6th pick if he can't cover? I don't know. McFadden is a superstar in the making though. I like him more than I liked Reggie, not as much as I liked Peterson.

    Depending on where McKelvin or Cromartie are projected, trade down and fill CB, no Dyson, so my guess is that we will be drafting a CB either 1 or 2.
     


  19. I can understand and respect saying DMAC is not the BPA...if you believe that..more power to ya..we all see things differently. I think what the previous poster is getting at is that there are many on here who will not acknowledge the term "BPA" and think that if an OLB or OL is not there at 6...that we either need to reach for someone else or trade down which may or may not be an option.

    As for DMAC being a "gadget player"...It is true he was the orchestrator of that offense and the only true playmaker...therefore there was alot of creative playcalling that involved, yes some gadget plays.

    I don't view that as a bad thing w/ Dmac(or smith for that matter). I see that as being a versatile player that you can get creative w/.

    Same here, I like him much better than I did Bush and just about the same as I liked Peterson before last years draft. Obviously after the year Peterson had you cant expect any RB to come in and duplicate that kind of year but I do think that Peterson had more serious questions about him heading into his draft than DMC does heading into his.
