NFL Draft With the 5th pick: Gholston or Chris Long?

Kylo Ren · 04-23-2008, 07:08 AM

No, I'm not providing any other options by design. This thread is not about who we should pick at #5. I'm just wanting to compare these two guys to see if you think either of them, neither of them or which one of them are worthy of the 5th round pick.

They will definitely both go before the 5th round. But just like yesterday, its C. Long without even having to think about it.

Chris Long best player in the draft but I highly doubt he will be there when we pick.

Gravedigger · 04-23-2008, 07:11 AM

Better take Chris Long imo

kcfan82 · 04-23-2008, 07:13 AM

If you want the combine results

Gholston
6'4 264
40 - 4.67
Bench - 37 reps
Vert - 35.5
Broad Jump - 10' 5"
3 cone - 7.12
29 yard shuttle - 4.40

Long
6'4 275
40 - 4.75
Bench - Not enough to make the top performers
Vert - 34
Broad Jump - 10' 4"
3 cone - 7.02
20 yard shuttle - 4.21

I'd still go with Matt Ryan if he's available. Brodie Croyle $UCKS. He's a 3rd string NFL QB at best.

If we even think about tradeing down with long or gholston on the board I will throw a boot in my 38 inch plasma tv.

- if you think Long is getting past the Rams you are dreaming

I would wonder how ppl would feel if we got long in the 5th and traded up for Ryan if he fell to 8-12.

Long will be gone by #5. Gholston won't hold up against the run in a 4-3, he's more suited to a 3-4. That said, I'm sure the Chiefs will find a way to ____ this up and take him at #5 anyway.

I want Glenn Dorsey, Chris Long, Vernon Gholston in that order. Just need STL, ATL, or OAK to pick 1 player outside those 3, and we'll get one of them.

I hope for one of Clady, Albert, Otah, Williams @17.

You wouldn't want Dwight Freeney on your team, then... right? He wouldn't hold up to the run in a 4-3... right?

my only problem with gholston is he is a linebacker/d-lineman which makes him a tweener and the chiefs will screw up a tweener 90% of the time.
