If that happens, you're looking at Chris Long 4 and the Chiefs looking at Gholston Ellis and OT reaches.

They're not going OT now. I'd almost guarantee it. I think if that's how it falls it's either Gholston or Ellis. I wouldn't cry about it either way. Although I still would prefer Ellis. I think he's a beast himself.

I'd like to know what the downside is to getting a player like Gholston, who is younger, cheaper, no more risky, and not a complete fucking dumbass in every aspect of his life, as compared to Jesus H. Allen?

I agree with you too. No way Oakland passes on Chris Long. Everyone talked about them taking McFadden because everyone assumed C. Long would be off the board.

Or a trade down.

A trade down now would just be a sick amount of 1st day picks...

I love this deal. It's the right move at the right time for the first time in a goddamned long time.

This is probably going to sound bad but he's not white....

Allen was a player alot of fans here could relate to because he was a star player that was white and they felt was alot like them being a likeable country boy or some such.

Many fans seem to feel like they didn't just lose a player but they lost one of their buddies, so in short Gholston won't be the cities drinkin buddy.

Oh no, I'm with you. I think he's going to be a very good NFL player.

It's just that if the Chiefs pick him and he's not a superstar immediately, people around here will claim he sucks.

Just like Hali. Or LJ.

You don't think that Marlboro Chief and Hog Farmer will be out partying with Gholston?

Yeah.

Well, look at the dumbasses in the 8-8 crowd crawl out of the woodwork for their chicken little fests tonight.

Oh NOES!! We didn't get Ryan Clady at #5 to fix all of our offense's problems. We were one guy away!! We ruined it ALL!!

hmmm here's a good question...

Chris Long or Gholston, if it comes between the two?

I know Gholston is projected to be a more 3-4 type of player, but when you can have an athlete like that on the field and give him the right coaching, wow...

Mecca · 04-23-2008, 01:00 AM

I'd just like to say even though people feel I'm negative toward Hali he has been so far exactly what I thought he'd be..a good solid player but he doesn't have much upside.

Gholston is 265 he is fine as a DE especially in this defense...

Gholston is much more athletic with a much greater upside Long is safe...I personally like Gholston more but that's just me I think.

I think Chris Long will play for a long time and be a good solid guy who gets around 10 sacks a year but I don't see him as a dominating game changer I believe Gholston is that.

Tough call.

High motor guy versus an incredible physique and athletic prowess.

I'm glad that I don't have to make that call.

Grant Wistrom versus Julius Peppers?

Who do you choose?
