magnus23 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I believe McFadden is too much like Norwood - just hyped more.I don't think we take him if available, since it will be a waste without an offensive line.We might try to trade down with Dallas however - if available.We can get this guy on day two anyway.

UGA Homers LOVE Van Gomer Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'm thinking I would rather have the other back from Arkansas... Jones.But he'll probably go in the first and I'd rather spend our #1 on the O-line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones.But he'll probably go in the first and I'd rather spend our #1 on the O-line.The only O-line worthy of the top 5 pick is Jake Long and hes going to be gone before we pick, Ryan Clady is going to be a top 15 pick, so who are we drafting as O-line?

Funny you should say this: I was thinking the same thing this weekend. There do appear to be similarities.Agree with you 100% on OL priority. If McFadden doesn't stay away from bars, he may be available much later in the draft:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were at the #3 or #4 pick we'd have a shot at Chris Long, McFadden, Jake Long, or Glenn Dorsey. I wouldn't mind any one of those guys but if we're looking at McFadden and Dallas is **** bent on having him... trade down.And as far as O-line goes.... I'm waiting on more offensive linemen scouting reports. Jake Long is clearly the #1 prospect. I'm curious to see who the next guys are and how much of a drop they are.

We are pretty much stuck at our spot. 3rd, 4th or 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take a LOT for them to be able to get into the top 5 even with two first round picks.If we can't trade down then take the next BPA if it's not one of the four I mentioned earlier. Again I do not think any QB in this draft is worth a pick in the top 15 let alone top 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all want to win but in reality, we are going to lose some and we are going to win some.If we happen to draft a QB early in the first round, We will have losing seasons for years to come and become the next Detroit Lions.
