NFL Draft Jamaal Charles...WTF?

Sanka · 04-27-2008, 08:33 AM

Wtf was that pick?

SBK · 04-27-2008, 08:34 AM

He's a running back.

**wazu** · 04-27-2008, 08:34 AM

It looks like somebody let Carl back into the war room.

Sanka · 04-27-2008, 08:35 AM

I know who he is, but why? Carl must be running the show again.

Return candidate and a home-run hitter.

Compares To: JULIUS JONES-Dallas...Charles has great outside running ability, but like his former teammate, Selvin Young (Denver) and Jones, he is best when utilized as a change-of-pace back. He is an excellent outside runner, but because of a lack of bulk and strength, he gets pushed back or engulfed going up the gut, where he also has fumble issues. Use him in a shared alignment much like the Cowboys did with Jones and Marion Barber or like the Giants did with Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw, and you will get good quality in return. At this time, more than 15 carries in any game brings a risk of wearing him down, which invites injury.

Gotta be a reflection on LJ and Kolby. Or a change of pace back.

BIOGRAPHY: Two-time All-Conference selection who led Texas on the ground last season posting 258/1619/18 and adding 17 receptions. Sophomore-year totals included 156/831/7 carrying the ball when he started just one game. Track and field sprint champion awarded All-American honors in the 100-meter dash.

POSITIVES: Speedy ball-carrier who can take it the distance when given the slightest bit of open space. Runs with good lean and displays a tremendous burst of speed. Can switch it on with a single step and leave defenders in the dust. Keeps his feet driving up the field, deceptively strong in his lower body, and falls forward when tackled. Possesses the speed and footwork necessary to turn the corner. A patient back who finds the running lanes.

NEGATIVES: Not an elusive ball-carrier who creates yardage. Easily knocked off balance by the first hit. Average pass-catcher out of the backfield.

ANALYSIS: Charles is a tremendous athlete with home run speed, yet he.s a prospect who.s still learning to how to become a complete running back. He offers terrific upside potential and could start at the next level if he ever completes his game.

PROJECTION: Middle Second Round

Jesus Christ people - seriously.

NOT drafting for depth in the past (think OL) is how we got into this situation.

This is a great pick at this point.

ChiliConCarnage · 04-27-2008, 08:39 AM

wow.. I wasn't expecting that.

Pablo · 04-27-2008, 08:40 AM

It's funny how some people are flipping shit about Charles, but there are so many posters who were advocating taking a FB(Schmitt) in the 3rd or 4th.

Now, Brad Cottam..that is a WTF pick.
