Who don't you want in the draft, but you can not explain why you don't want them...a gut feel.

My two are:
Aqib Talib
Felix Jones

I know these guys are good players, but I really can't explain why I don't want them...I don't think either will live up to their potential if taken in the first round.
 
I have weak arguments for a few guys, but I've got a reasoning behind pretty much everyone I don't want wearing the star.

Felix Jones is probably the closest thing to what your asking for for me.
 
Jonathon Stewart - I have this weird feeling this guy is a bust, I really have nothing to back it up, just a gut feeling.

Funny how each to own!!!

I have great gut feelings about both of those players.
 
desean jackson-i hate small recievers
Ray Rice- if owens gets hurt and we don't get Roy from the lions,we will have the slowest offense in the nfl.
aqib talib=Deangelo Hall version 2.0

And you may be right...I watched Talib in the combine drills and for some reason he did not seem to be at the same level as DRC, or some of the others for me. He may turn out to be great.

Jones...I don't know. I think he is overhyped. If MBIII went down having him as the primary back would scare me...I guess that's probably my biggest concern there with him. I feel a few others may be able to handle a load better. Then again...he could prove my gut way wrong.
 
There are a bunch of guys that I don't want, but I don't think it's a gut feeling. It's because so many of them have character issues -- bad attitudes or brushes with the law.
 
Good subject for a post. There are always guys you don't want for a reason that isn't necessarily based on evidence, just a gut feeling.

Mine is definitely Felix Jones. He just "seems" like a faster version of Julius Jones. Not a true, NFL RB.
 
DMac - But I know why and it's because it would cost far too much to get him.

Kenny Phillips - Don't really know why.

I'll take the same two and add, Manningham and DeSean Jackson.
 
Every WR in the draft not named Jordy Nelson. What a collection of wingnuts.

You sure its just not gas your feeling?

:rolleyes:

4.44 isn't slow. Get over it.
 
Felix Jones-with a deep rb class it would make no sense to draft this guy in the first round. Never has shown to carry the full load for an extended period of time. Why would anyone think he could do it in the pro's?
If you want a compliment to Barber, Chris Johnson and Jamaal Charles would make more sense to me.
Limas Sweed-all hype with this kid. Gets injured a lot and has under-perfomed in college. Let's draft this kid in the first round and give him a bunch of money and see how he does???? Not me.

I get the same feeling. Also, throw in Talib and Devin Thomas.
