Obviously this is a hypothetical situation but if these 2 guys were on the board who would you pick and why? Don't give me some garbage about not liking their school either, that's ********. And I know many want a CB as do I but I'm looking for an objective perspective on these two guys only.




Good luck cause I'm sure you will post what ever you want regardless..:D

I would look for better value or trade down. They will still be there 6 picks later.

I would take Malcolm Kelly. For one, I believe we need a WR more than a RB and you can find a descent RB in the 2nd round to back up Barber, and two, I like Big WR's that also has descent speed and that fits Kelly. What I really want us to do is get a CB with the 1st pick.

Assuming both are elite players or good players on the same skill/talent level, you take the wide receiver.

This is a deep draft for running backs. And running backs are a dime a dozen.

Chances are if we pass on Jones, we'll pick up a Rice or Johnson or Hart in lower rounds to augment Marion Barber. But the drop off will probably be noticeable at the wide receiver position.

Having said that, I think Felix Jones is more talented than Malcolm Kelly, and following the BPA theory, I would take him over Jones.

My scenario only applies to if they are of equal talent. I'm not that convinced of Kelly's talent and potential.

Def Kelly if he is there out of the two.

Reasoning: I've seen Kelly in the teens in most mock drafts. He's big and makes big catches. I'd def prefer him

kelly because barber should get a nice chunk of change and if we draft a rb in the 1st round he will also want a nice chunk of change. plus a lot of good rb's in this draft

Is choice C neither? Cause I'd take a corner with that pick over either of those guys. If not, then I'd take Kelly since we can always grab a backup to Barber in a later round (deep draft for RB) and WR talent diminishes pretty quickly after the 1st round and certainly after the 2nd.

Its his pet cat but i just think its more about people getting excited about him freaking out, banging his head into things and wearing a mohawk than it is rational thought about how he could help the team.

I think Schmitt could help, just don't like how theo is always bagging on Deon Anderson, it's consumed him, idk, maybe we should each chip in 1 cent to buy him a new, pet cricket, since it's obvious that Deon ate his

the other part is I don't like the thought of using a high draft pick on a position that's not even featured in our offense, Barber runs better out of a one-back set anyways, and a 2-TE offense is more explosive than a 2-back one, I say we build w/ that and utilize Fasano like we should, the potential is just sickening

I agree with the second paragraph completely.

feel fortunate you got that much from me.

I've said the same exact thing before....that a Fasano/Witten tandem with 2 WRs poses more problems to a defense than a 2 back set.
So i just agreed with you because I do agree with you.
