Fine by me....

Gholston, Ellis, or Long are fine by me.

I like the "playing HOFer daddy's team after being snubbed by them" story twice a year.
He would make them pay.

For a cover 2 Turk is more suited to be in the middle...

Gholston can be an elite pass rusher and I suspect he will be one, for a cover 2 I'm going to say that Gholston can rival and possibly be better than Simeon Rice was in Tampa.

We don't know these men for all you know Gholston is a great guy who's smart.

I didnt say he had character flaws or that he isnt smart. Having grown up with a pro-bowl father his football IQ both on the field and in the locker room has been sited as one of his strong suites. Gholston may be a great guy, but those things arent touted as his strengths like they are for Long.

Ellis is the only one that I belive to be a sure fire Impact player,

I see Chris as a rock. Very good for a long time, but not a superstar.

Gholston is BOOOM, or bust. I would bet on boom, but he scares me.

BTW Herm's eye for talent seems to be more myth than anything. Maybe it's because it's what HE"S best at, but from the pure draft record he's far from the best at it.

That pretty much sums up my opinion....

I don't know...but it looks like he could rip off a silverback gorilla's head with those guns...

Saturday cannot get here fast enough. I need a flux capacitor.

Gholston is an athlete...but you really don't have to be much more than that when you're a DE on the right side..push the OT out of your way and run your big, strong ass as fast as you can into the QB's spine. Pretty simple..doubt he'll be dropping back in coverage much and making reads if we're playing him at DE. He's been a great football player at one of the premier programs in the nation, we'd be lucky to have him fall into our lap.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 04-22-2008, 10:45 PM

All this talk about not drafting a DE. Hmmph. I hope we take C. Long or Gholston in the first and can land Groves in the 2nd. We NEED to build both units from the line out. We NEED 3 DE's.

melbar · 04-22-2008, 10:45 PM

How bout this scenario?
Say ATL is torn between Dorsey and Ryan. We offer our 3rd round pick to jump up to #3 and get Dorey if Long goes #2. They would still get Ryan at 5 since OAK has no need. We still need DE later, but we get a dominate player in the middle. Would Dorsey be a pick we could agree on?

Dorsey is still the best hope that we have. He's the 2nd best prospect in this draft IMO. We can't take the best. We have LJ.

Mecca · 04-22-2008, 10:46 PM

I think 5 years from now Gholston will be considered the best player from this draft as he's every year pro bowler that puts up 15+ sacks every year.

I'd be cool with that, but it'll never happen IMO.
