I wish people would see the possibilities here. Felix is gonna be a BLAST to watch. He said on his Ticket interview just now that the team told him on his visit that they want to use him to spread out defenses. You know RJ will get him out in space.

And honestly, although I hardly ever saw him, something about Mendenhall screamed ordinary to me. Maybe I'm totally wrong, we'll see.

I just think you can do a better job getting both Felix and Barber on the field at the same time an opining up a ton of things defenses will have to worry about. I don't think Menendhall gives the same flexibility.

I wouldn't mind getting a Ray Rice to boot if he falls later in the draft too to be a further backup. There is still a TON of RB talent in this draft out there.

Plus Felix returning kicks and Pacman returning punts? Our field position just improved by +20 yards this season (if Pacman plays).

Not sure they had to trade to get Jenkins, but again adding him too makes this pretty good overall.

Felix Jones will be better than Reshard because of his elite speed and his ability to bump off defenders. Felix shared the carries with Darren McFadden and put up 1000 yards and Darren Mcfadden had three times as many carries as Felix did and put up 1800 yards what about that comparison. Also Felix is the best rb off the pass which is also what we need. Also Felix Jones averaged 8.7 yards per carrie. He also will be a big contributer on special teams.:starspin(Jerrie knows what he's doin)

This could be worse. We filled needs, in theory at least. But we may have gotten a bit too cute here in the process.

wow, his 4.47 speed will scare everyone. :bang2:

I'm feeling... very excited right now. Can't wait for the season to start, and the draft isn't even over yet.

 

[masomenos]

A RB I wasn't high on and a CB I wasn't high on...and I'm ok with the first round. Actually I'm kind of excited about it.

 

[Westcoasthabsfan]

I like both picks..... for those who wanted a reciever, I dont think there has been one selected as of yet...first time since 90 no WR taken in the first round

I wanted Mendenhall, but like I said, I don't dislike Felix like others do. Us getting Jenkins and watch Chris Jonson go a few picks later made me feel a bit better I must admit

I don't see why people have to be so negative all the time.

What is everyone basing their knowledge on who is better between Jones and Mendenhall?

The analysts reports? The media reports? The same people who said Ryan Leaf would be the next Joe Montana and Tony Mandarich would be the best NFL tackle ever?

Keep your shirts on people, Jerry and the coaching staff know what they are doing. They know which player fits their system the best.

Let's have these young men play before you criticize them.

Based on the games I F'ing watched! Yeah, they know like they knew when they drafted Julius instead of Stephen Jackson and selected Bobby Carpenter.

NO....brother, the MAN (jerry) makes mistakes like every other human being...and this was another one!

GD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you post here and have to ask why people have to be so negative? that is most raison d'etre here.

anyway, those who are complaining are doing it for one reason, to be able to say later on if Jones is not great "see I told you".

so it's now Jones' fault Parcells took Julius and Bobby Carpenter? I thought before they were both "Boobs' fault?

Exactly... This is one thing I hate about the draft, how everyone throws a fit when their favorite player isn't the one we take. I can understand if it's an obvious huge reach or a position we don't need (ahem, Fasano), but when you get a guy at a position you need at around the area where he's projected to go, what's the problem? The truth is that there's no one right pick -- several guys can do it.

They did fine...we improved the team...

wonder if Henry really is moving to safety as was suggested

Has Roy been informed? He might want to know this.

Makes you wonder. We picked up two CBs although one still has to be approved by Robespierre Goodell. We are a little clogged at CB now. then again, Henry is almost guaranteed to miss 5 games as always so,,,

wow, his 4.47 speed will scare everyone. :bang2:

Exactly....the guy is slower than Mendenhall....what a joke!!
