All I am saying is that I don't think he is worthy of a top 10 pick. It almost seems as if there are more people that agree with my stance then yours. But that isn't the point. Is it?????

Gholston won't get out of the top 10, even if we pass him...if NE covets him at 7 that has to say something

Weekly World News has a story breaking on the 2000-year old paternity suit between Mary and Joseph. Apparently modern DNA study reveals Gholston as the father.

HUH?

I've yet to see ANYTHING that suggests Gholston isn't a Top 10 pick.

I haven't seen any legit sites mock have him go any later than 7 to NE.

But as stated in another Gholston thread, he isn't a good fit for the Chief's defense unless we go to a 3 -4 type of defense, I don't think we can take a chance on another undersized DE like Hali.

NE is in a totally different position then the Chiefs, if the Chiefs were solid and didn't have any glaring holes, I would understand taking a chance on Gholston, but not in the position the Chief's are in.

Gholston may end up as a multi-time all-pro. But so did a lot of other teams that have passed up on players like Brady, Montana and such. Drafting and scouting isn't an exact science at all.

Which means it is probably somewhere in the middle? :shrug:

Agree.

He's the same size as Jared Allen.

Allen slimmed down to around 265 last year. Gholston's combine weight was 266.

Right....i think the height is 3" shorter for gholston but the dude is built like a freakin diesel

There is more to fitting into a system then size.

Are you saying that the players are identical?

I'm not. Gholston is stronger and faster.

Exactly.

Jared Allen didn't fit the profile of a NFL DE in a 4-3 scheme either.

Christ, he was drafted as a long snapper.

If Gholston doesn't fit a 4-3 scheme, then why are the Rams and Raiders hot and heavy over him?

The Rams are in heat over the best player in the draft, Glenn Dorsey, and no one has any clue as to who the Raiders want.

The Rams have been split, according to reports here. Haslett wants Dorsey, while the football operations/scouting department wants Long. Gholston's been mentioned as Linehan's pick.

I've heard several times that the Raiders will take Gholston over McFadden.

I wouldn't be upset if St. Louis grabbed Gholston.
