19 teams had interviews with Chris Johnson

[Goldenrichards83]

I wonder if he will go higher than expected? http://dal.scout.com/

 

[YosemiteSam]

IMO, he is the most talented RB in the draft. (yep, even more talented than McFadden) McFadden is just more phyically gifted size wise.

Well let see. My wife made ham with egg and cheese on a toasted multi-grain english muffin and coffee.

...if you like, I can explain exactly why I think he is more talented than McFadden.

Lets see who is more productive in the NFL next season. We will leave it at that.

:laugh2: Wow look at Crazy, I'll have to agree, McFadden is the Mansta of this draft buddy...

 

[Goldenrichards83]

I think team are looking at this : Among NCAA career active leaders ranking first in all-purpose yards (6,345 in 46 games) second in KOR (2,562) and ninth in KOR per game(55.7).

Maybe, but I haven't been wrong yet about my thoughts on players high profile players in the draft. Reggie Bush, Adrian Peterson, Dewayne Bowe, etc. I caught flak for what I said about all three, and all three predictions were dead on.

Nineteen teams are interested in Johnson huh? Lots of people said he doesn't have agility... I wonder why nineteen teams are all the sudden very interested in him. I wonder what the odds are that he is gone in the first round.. I think they are pretty damn good.

McFadden will end up like Reggie Bush. He WILL NOT be the next LT etc like everyone claimed Bush would be. The guy can't break tackles, and speed alone doesn't translate in the NFL.

When you think McFadden, think Brandon Jacobs. Big with speed. Once he gets to the NFL, defenses are going to match him with the same thing he has to offer. BIG with SPEED. They will collide, and guess what happens when McFadden makes contact. Thats right, he goes down. He lacks any ability to break tackles. There won't be many Grand Canyon sized holes in the NFL like there is in college. (including the SEC)

As I said. McFadden will follow Reggie Bush's foot-prints. He will be a good player, but not a breakout player like say Adrian Peterson is. Baring injury, Johnson will be a much more effective RB in the NFL. He is fast, strong, and has the one thing McFadden doesn't. The ability to break tackles.


Johnson >>> McFadden. Mark it.

Considering McFadden will be a starter and Johnson is likely going to a team to back someone up, looks like you're setting yourself up for failure.

lol wut.

As a side note, while I like Mario Williams. Houston was stupid not to take Bush first overall.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Oh snizzap.

I am one of the people on here that love Chris Johnson but to say hes the most talented idk... I think McFadden is the most talented by far

Ugh!

I think the limb you were climbing out on just broke off dude. McFadden may or may not be as good as Peterson coming out, but saying Chris Johnson is going to be better is ridiculous IMO. The reason why 19 teams are interested in Johnson is simple, because they have a BETTER SHOT at drafting him! Only 4 or 5 teams have a chance of drafting DMAC....Duh!

When you think McFadden, think Brandon Jacobs.

Can there be a worse comparison than this?


Here is the truth about both players IMO...


Chris Johnson = Reggie Bush

Darren McFadden = Adrian Peterson

I don't know how good Johnson is going to be, without a doubt his speed will help him and unlike Bush he actually will run North & South as well as break tackles...I do agree that McFadden is hyped up beyond belief and nothing I've seen of him leads me to believe he's the next incarnation of Bo Jackson or something...He's a straight up runner similar to Dickerson but seems to use his size and speed to get his yards more than breaking tackles or making cuts.

I'd like a RB to compliment that is a quick cutback runner, doesn't have to be an everydown back...A nice changeup from Marion...Whether that's Chris Johnson, Mendenhall or Johnathon Stewart, I don't care really...The obvious benefit, of course, of getting a guy like Johnson or Stewart is that he could be used as a return specialist as well...And we all know how much we could use someone like that, right?


I think the whole McFadden infatuation is overblown, perhaps not quite like the Reggie Bush lovefest but still overblown.

 

[YosemiteSam]

Like I said. Lets see where the cards fall.

btw Superpunk, thus far I still think Houston was stupid to select Mario Williams over Bush. Mario Williams had been ineffective up until about week 11 of last year. The guy has talent, but to be the first overall pick, he should have already done something by now. Bush has been quite a bit more effective than Williams.

In my opinion the entire top 10 in the 2006 draft has pretty much under-achieved. Of course there are some good players (Hawk, Davis, Whitner, etc) that were draft top 10, but under-achieved as what you should expect from a top 10 pick. You know there will be several that fall short, but none are performing as you would hope as top 10 would. I mean, Vince Young won offensive rookie of the year and the defensive rookie of the year wasn't even a first round pick.

Vernon Davis is probably the best overall talent in the 2006 draft. (drafted in the first round anyhow) Though he is a freakin headcase!
