Oh Theo -- It's Tashard Choice *Merge*

[Bleu Star]

Thanks to the installation of Tashard Choice this team is now stacked at RB. I feel much better know that Tashard Chocie is around if anything (god forbid) happens to MB3. MB3 has yet to prove he can carry the full load at the NFL level and he won't have to. However, if he goes down, I have even less faith that Felix Jones can carry the load. No worries now thanks to Jerry. Great pick. This makes me feel much better about day 1. :starspin

 

[PosterChild]

Jerry completely lied or didnt follow his own advice when he told ed werder that we werent looking for backups to our 13 probowlers...

Really Jerry???

Felix - back up rb

Jenkins - back up cb

Bennett - back up te

Choice - back back up rb

Solid Jerry.

LOL I bet you're fun at parties

Honestly, this makes me like the Felix Jones pick much more now. We'll never have to rely on Felix as an every down.

Think New Orleans.

Barber = McAllister
Felix = Reggie

They were in trouble when McAllister went down. Reggie's a nice weapon unless you rely on him as an every down back. Now we have the true backup RB we needed.

 

[kiheikiwi]

Question - kinda big, solid player, can he be a special teamer ?

 

[CowboyWay]

We never make this pick if we took mendenhall instead of Felix.

Good player, good pick, however, if we take mendenhall like we should have, we didn't need to waste this pick on tashard choice.

Red Bryant went 1 pick earlier than this one to the seahags. NOT saying Choice won't be good: just saying we needed a nice space eater like Bryant: badly. This sucks.

 

[BigDFan5]

I have nothing against Choice, but had JJ picked Mendenhall in the first this would not have been neccessary. Jones is probably never going to be a full time back, now he has to find another back to compensate in case Barber bolts or gets injured.
This is exactly why draft mistakes come back to haunt you.

Umm we would have needed a 3rd RB no matter which RB we took in the first

 

[Bob Sacamano]

we're protected in case of an injury to Barber, and still are able to put a game-breaker on the field

can't really complain

That's exactly right.

I wanted us to get him, too. A lot.

We have to get a NT somewhere. Not sure how good the ones in round 5 will be, though.

Don't you guys feel kind of uncomfortable that they drafted a part-time back in the first round and now made up for it in the fourth round???

You're right. It would have been a waste with Mendenhall, but without Mendenhall it's not a waste. But if we take Mendenhall we dont' get the same weapon as we get from Felix.

This is a great move on both ends. Much better than just getting Mendenhall.

 

[guag]

Agreed... it's also good to see that we aren't simply "settling" for what's left at WR just because it's a need, and instead we're getting the best available player (IMO). I'm happy

It depends on if you think of him as a part time back or as another type of weapon.

He's a Cowboy.

Excellent pic late in the 4th rd...we have a stacked RB deck now

[LittleBoyBlue]

2 RB's... I dont agree

I don't follow your logic.Even if we had taken Mendinghall we would have still needed another back.Unless your comfortable With Alonzo Coleman who is coming off an injury.I guess that's what you're saying?

Why??? The Giants had a bunch of free agents backing up Jacobs last year and it worked out for them...the Packers started a seventh rounder and won just as many games as the Boys.

For what it's worth, watch this kid run during the Senior Bowl... I REALLY liked him. He's a tough guy, runs over people and doesn't go down easy.

Again, I REALLY like this kid.
