magnus23 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Jonathan Stewart would be the perfect feature back to compliment Norwood.Would fit our team better than McFadden.Too bad he will probably go 15th to 30th overall.5' 11" 230lbs 4.38 and an excellent blocker.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2yKRVAHItU&feature=related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlFan80 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Norwood spliting time with Snelling and Dunn coming in as our 3rd down type guy. Norwood and Snelling was just not used enough last year and Dunn is not a between the tackles runner. Once we build a consistent line I look for our young backs we have to take off. Mcfadden or whom ever could not run behind this undersized line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boley59 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 i like stewart a lot and wish we picked lower so we could draft him...maybe he will be slow at his 40 and fall to the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDetecto Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I want Stewart real bad, he's the perfect back for us, he's a bruiser but still has good speed. And if you think about it, it's not that unlikely he falls to our first 2nd. There are 2 teams that need RBs in the 1st, Seattle and Dallas (I'm not talking about the team that takes McFadden, of course.) Mendenhall seems like the better fit for Seattle, and Dallas will probably take Felix Jones, considering Jerry Jones' Arkansas ties, and they don't need a power back anyway. Either way, I think we're going to see Mendenhall or Stewart available at our 1st 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSlick Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I don't disagree. He really would be an awesome compliment to Norwood. Unless we can trade down, I can't see us picking him up. He won't be there in the 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmixon14 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Mendenhall is not chump either. I'd take Any of the three however. McFadden is a heavier Norwood ... which is definitely not a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan minnich Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 AtlFan80 (1/20/2008)Norwood spliting time with Snelling and Dunn coming in as our 3rd down type guy. Norwood and Snelling was just not used enough last year and Dunn is not a between the tackles runner. Once we build a consistent line I look for our young backs we have to take off. Mcfadden or whom ever could not run behind this undersized line.norwood ran fine behind are oline( 6 yards per carry) if we drafted mcfadden he would do fine. the oline will be changed this year.

FalconFan13 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I would take Mendenhall over Stewart. I think he is just as strong and i know he's faster after watching them both. Some people might say stewart can run a 4.3 something but thats hand timed his electronic time is 4.59. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busboyisback Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Stewart will not be in our draft range.Jamaal Charles in the 2nd would be lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge Storms Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 A powerback from the PAC-10 playing in a spread offense? I'm definitely not sold on Stewart, he could be a fine starter in the NFL, but the PAC-10 is not the fertile ground for running back talent that it once was. If, assuming the unlikely scenario that we trade down, we are in the middle of the first round and looking for a tailback, Mendenhall would be a better option.

UGA_DAWG46 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I would love to have Stewart. Like someone say earlier he will be gone around pick 15-20.If so we can get Kevin Smith, Jamal Charles, or Chris Johnson of ECU. What about John Hester at FB in the late round? Smart guy. Yea we have Ovie. Hester can get some reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy carpenter Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 absolutely correctthe answer to RB is heredunn isnt very good anymoresnelling was always going forward in limited action this year...good short yardage backnorwood is a home run threatwe could be back on top of the nfl in rushing if we sign alan feneca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacific_Falcon Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Boley59 (1/20/2008)i like stewart a lot and wish we picked lower so we could draft him...maybe he will be slow at his 40 and fall to the second.there's a significant chance we could trade down. if we traded down with chicago they could get ryan and we could get stewart and pick up another 2nd rd selection in the process. that allows us to take a MLB, OT, and DT all in the 2nd round. I love that idea, but i'm not holding my breath. while it's not unrealistic, things with the falcons historically have rarely gone as i would have wished :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy carpenter Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 norwood had 6 ypc because he got in when everyone was tired for his home run threat runsmcfadden starting he wouldnt have 6 yards a carrysee drafting one of those home run threats in the first found when it really isnt your biggest need alot of times they become a bustlike reggie bush in new orleans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oregonfan Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 "Ok I checked with my bro who has a man crush on the guy. At NFL pro day last year "NFL scouts running a combine at the U of O" Stewart ran an electronic (radar) 4.34 40. Benches 410 squats near 600 and has a 39 inch vertical. He ran/runs indoor track for the U of O. The 4.5 numbers you see are his senior high school numbers 375 bench in high school and 575 squat and a 40.5 inch vert. that was at 215 pounds. So guess that's it. Believe or don't I doubt it will hurt his feelings." My quote from another thread. And to clarify I don't know who's faster between the two. Stewart electronic time is not 4.59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
