BigSlick Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I will throw up if we take Darren McFadden over Jake Long. In fact there is only one player who I can even justify taking over Jake Long...Glen Dorsey and I would be a little frustrated with that.

kube_32 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 What is the fascination with McFadden?We have the same runningback in Norwood,but faster and he carried more of the load in college.Remember Reggie Bush,every year there is a must have rb,& there will be one next year.We can pick a rb later in the draft or give Snelling a chance.If we pick dmc I will be pissed.Ellis or Long is the pick here,games are won &lost in the trenches.

3rd and short Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Just say no to DMac.Seriously, I don't believe our new GM will view RB as our #1 need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great American Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I would not be unhappy with McFadden even though we have more glaring needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serge Storms Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 People would actually rather have a mediocre left tackle prospect than an elite running back prospect. ESPN has won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draftnut57 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Ellis is who I want and he will not last that long . If we don't take Ellis or Dorsey then I'd rather have Matt Ryan , Or better yet trade down and take Stewart and Clady . WE can get a couple of very good OTs in with 2 of our 5 picks in the 2nd threw the 4th rounds . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busboyisback Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 That's the first mock draft that doesn't have us taking Ryan Leaf, I mean Matt Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carter Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 BigSlick (1/18/2008)I will throw up if we take Darren McFadden over Jake Long. In fact there is only one player who I can even justify taking over Jake Long...Glen Dorsey and I would be a little frustrated with that.I'll throw up if Jake Long goes before Darren McFadden.Taking Jake Long doesn't do anything more to fix our line than taking Matt Ryan would. There are like 4 better LT prospects sitting below him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pured-hallfan Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 This mock sucks the Tuna would never take a QB with a second year QB on roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayoh Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I don't really care if it's a need position or not, if Chris Long is available when we pick, we HAVE to take him. You guys are probably saying to yourselves "We have Abe! And Jamaal might not be a bust yet!"To you I say "What happens when Abe gets hurt and we have to rely on Chauncey Davis as our main pass rusher?" Yeah, that got you thinking. We're one player away from another '07 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
