MERGED: With the First Pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, The Miami Dolphins Select.....

Chris Long is the NY Strip to Glenn Dorsey's Ribeye...either way you're getting steak.

 

As long as they dont take the "Wrong' Long that is...right?

I agree, if they take eithe CHRIS Long or Dorsey, I think both are winners..

 

Not a fan of Jake whatsoever...much rather have Otah if we go that route, but obviously not with the 1st overall pick.

 

Pre-combine who do you take at #1 overall?

Obviously, you may change your mind after the combine, pro days, etc., but after watching the bowl games who would you take at #1 overall RIGHT NOW?

I am SO torn between Glen Dorsey and Chris Long it gives me a headache sometimes thinking about it.

If I had to choose right now I would go with Glen Dorsey. But, if the draft were tomorrow morning I may go with Chris Long.

I am also having a difficult time not drafting Darren McFadden. I mean, I thought we were all onboard previously on taking the BPA. IMO, BPA is McFadden, but we CAN'T take him because we are currently stacked at running back. (figures...)

Who would you draft if we can't trade down from #1 overall?

 

Chris Long

 

Chris Long...and please check to see if there are any similar threads before posting the same thing, thanks.

 

I'd take Chris Long at this very moment. Dorsey would be right behind him. I'll be keeping my eye on the combine very very closely.

 

I like C.Long, and have always liked what he brings on the field, week after week! A lot of people like to use the numbers generated in at the Combine to make up their mind about a player, I prefer to do it this way: Watch the guy in as many games, against as many different competitors and styles of play, as possible. If they're good all the time, you have a player! Just because someone puts up big numbers at the Combine means very little, other than he's a trained athlete. Watch how he PLAYS, it tells you much more about his skill!

 

PLease please please explain to me why McFadden is the best player available.

I have studied this to some extent...I dont see it. I only watched two games of his (One of which was the bowl game) and I didnt see it there either...why oh why is everybody so high on this kid...I really really dont get it???

I know I am getting kindve old, perhaps the reason is directly in front of me and I just dont see the forrest for the trees...

BTW: I not only dont think he ISNT the best player in the draft, I dont think he is the best Runningback in the draft...in fact, I would put him at third....and only if he goes to the correct offense that needs a "Gimmick" type of player....Perhaps New Orleans, needs another?

 

I think Mcfadden's pretty special so I guess I disagree with your assessment of him. However, he's not the pick for us. RB is the very least of our worries, especially at #1 with absolute top shelf d-line talent available.

 

BTW I'm still salivating over that draft you had earlier in this post with us taking Dorsey, Rogers Cromartie, Davis, and Beau Bell. I don't know if there is a better realistic scenario for this team.

 

We're even then bro cause i am still salivating over your Steak reference in regards to Long ~vs~ Dorsey....which I also find to be very accurate

 

Hopefully we can pick up some potatoes to go with our first round steak! Christ, now I want steak for lunch and I brought a turkey on wheat with me into work!

 

Who are the other 2?

 

For me in order

Chris Johnson and Mike Hart. I think both translate into much better NFL players.

What I saw of McFadden is a truely gifted athlete, but one who plays alot of gimmick type plays. He also runs VERY upright (Of course the same was true of Eric Dickerson) but for the most part, these types of backs dont last long with the pounding they get in the NFL

I am probably completely off-base here, but before I started researching and watching, I heard McFadden put in the same category as Adrian Peterson....not even close, and in fact as I have already said, I would probably take "The other (Bears)" Adrian Peterson first...

BUt as everything, that is just my view and opinion...

 

Chris Johnson is my number 3.

I have:
1 Jonathon Stewart
2. Mcfadden
3. Johnson
4. Felix Jones
5. Kinlaw

I know I should think more highly of Hart, but his size always gets to me.

 

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about Jonathon Stewart. I didnt know much about him till ohhh.....3 days ago (Thanks for the heads-up Boom). .From things I have read, that could kid VERY well be the best back in the draft...

 

I had the same mindset too until I saw what Jones-Drew has done in the pros.

 

Actually, that is EXACTLY who Hart reminds me off..also for you older folks -Joe Morris- who's little brother incidently owns the Michigan all-time rushing reacord

Anybody know who his coach was?
