Threads like this just get me progressively more pissed as the week goes on.
All the guys in here bashing Gholston were pretty much nowhere to be found on Draft Planet, then they mysteriously show up 4 days from the draft, read one scouting report from a hackneyed source, and suddenly they know he's not a fit for a 4-3. Yet, were they actually to think outside of the LD room for a second, they'd see that Gholston is stronger and faster than Allen, has the same size as Freeney, and is stronger, is a protocockfuckingtypical size for a Cover 2 DE. I'm growing weary of playing the role of 'tard wrangler.

Don't bother telling them that he's 2" taller and the same weight as Dwight Freeney out of college. A little slower, but a lot stronger.

It just goes to show how accurate those reports were a few years back that said most of our population is functionally illiterate.

If there wasn't a team that was predominately a 3 - 4 defense picking in the top 10, then, IMHO he isn't worthy of a top 10 pick.

I never figured KC would have a shot at Gholston because I was sure Parcells would take him at #1.
Now that he's not gone at #1 I'm really hoping he's there at 5. The only guy I would want more is Dorsey, but I don't see him falling at all. |

God knows, when the Phoenix Suns traded for Shaq, they did it for his three point shooting ability.

Gholston has the size to play in the 4-3, thats not really an issue. He wasn't the greatest against the run in college, but it wasn't because of his size, he just didn't play the run exceptionally well. I wouldn't really call it a weakness though, he's just inconsistent. He should be able to improve on this. It'd be a bigger concern if we were drafting him to play linebacker.
The question about Gholston is his effort and consistency, his physical tools are out out this world. But you can bring up the same questions of consistency about nearly all defensive line prospects. If everyone talented DE destroyed all the lesser OTs they played in college they would all be racking up 30 sacks a year. In general, trench players have a tendency to take plays off. Chris Long is about the only prospect in recent memory that was highly rated that people didn't feel that way about. I'd rather have Long, but if we draft Gholston I'd be thrilled.

Seriously, if you cant see the validity of a guy having a good game against a great player and then sucking against players who will be lucky to be drafted and why that is cause for concern, what else can be said?

Before the Sanchez love-fest, it was Gholston. Who will it be in the 2010 draft??
