LA Times Busts Out a Sweet Mock For Us

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I just don't think his "abilities" will translate to the NFL. I see him (and Stewart, but moreso Stewart) as a Ron Dayne type. Great college runner, average-at-best NFL runner.



Shut up. You've lost your priveledge (sp?) to judge RBs since you swore by JuJo being better than MB3 all season, only cuz he was the "Starter".

You don't have the common sense and/or two good working Eyeballs to see the obvious in MB3 > JuJo then you certainly don't have the common sense and/or two good working eyeballs to see the not so obvious.

You should go into child psychology bro.

I definitely see where you're going with regard to Stewart. I completely agree with the Ron Dayne comparison (I think I've made it before). I just don't see it with Mendenhall. I think he's a little more shifty/quick and faster. Plus he runs with more power than Stewart.

I see his reasoning with Stewart as well. Mendenhall is just too quick (IMO) to be a Ron Dayne type.

I think he'll be good.

Have you folks actually watched Stewart play? He is not slow, by any means. Dayne was never fast. You could see that at Wisconsin. Stewart is not a Ron Dayne type runner.

Yeah, I've seen him play. I know he's not slow, too. He just doesn't seem that elusive to me nor does he seem to have as much power as you'd think from his size.

I don't really think he'll be as unsuccessful as Dayne... but I can understand Rack comparing Stewart to him moreso than Mendenhall.

ABQ... Who do you like best between Mendenhall and Stewart?

Yes. He's not quick at all. They look very similar to me. Not identical, but Stewart has bust written all over him to me.

I get the feeling the comparison was made more because Dayne is one of the worst NCAA to NFL RB transitions that everyone knows now adays, than anything else.

I see you continue to fail to understand even the simplest of discussions.

Fantasy is what that is.

Daye not being able to keep his weight down was his biggest problem. it robbed him of what little speed and wiggle he had.

I've said it before -- no one here on the West Coast thinks this guy is slow

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I'd break necks to get to the podium with Albert's name on a card if he were there at 22. At 22, he's easily the best player on the board IMO but I agree with you. He won't be there.

he will, OG is just not a premium position, I remember a few years ago Elton Brown out of VA was supposed to be the draft's best, can't-miss OG, and he ended up dropping to Az in the 3rd round

Fat Albert will be there at 22, and we'll pass, I think Seattle takes him shortly thereafter at 25; however

Do television sets look different on the West Coast? He's not slow, but you couldn't reasonably describe him as 'fast' or 'quick'.

I would rather take Albert over only one player, Felix Jones. Although I don't like taking OL that early, that is how much I don't want him on the team. IMO, unless it is a glaring need for your team, you shouldn't take a OL in the first round. Yet, it happens all the time, one or two OL are taken in the first round. Look at the Raiders a few years ago, they took Gallery very high. It sure did them a lot of good.

Between Felix and Albert, Albert by a mile.

Your right, theo. Albert as a player wouldn't make me angry, the position at that point in the draft would. But, Felix Jones would probably ruin the draft for me. If Jones is the only RB left at that point, Jerry better just wait until the 2nd round for Rice or Johnson. Either one of those guys would be better than Felix. Maybe I should start a petition...

If for no other reason than career longevity.

I don't feel it as strongly regarding Mendenhall being Dayne-ish as I do about Stewart being Dayne-ish. I wouldn't be "upset" if we got him at 22, but I wouldn't expect much out of him. IMO Barber is a better RB than Mendenhall. If we're gonna draft a RB, I want one better than Barber. Ray Rice and McFadden would both be better RBs IMO.

I see you continue to fail to understand even the simplest of discussions.

This coming from the genius that "failed" to see the obvious in Barber > JuJo.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Are people trying to insinuate that Stewart is slow? Between all those long runs for TDs, kickoff returns taken to the house and running in the 4.4s with turf toe you'd think people would know better. its not like he was getting caught from behind by LBers.
