Stanford's Gerhart

[fortdick]

Would you take this guy in the third round and convert him to a FB? Could be another Moose.

No, but I would take him in the fourth and keep him at runningback.

Its a good idea but I think we have much more pressing needs (OL/S) if he falls to the 5th though (he won't) but if he did, I think it would be a good move.

 

[RainMan]

There's nothing about this kid that screams fullback.

I just think this guy is going to fall. Probably unfair to him because of the reasons, but if he does drop into the thrid and he is there, you got to take him, I think. That would make the Choice trade talk a little more reasonable.

Besides, Felix deserves a good FB.

235 lbs. He could add 10 and then be prime. Remember Alsott? Same situation.

If Dallas were to get a FB I would hope it is a guy who has played FB not a guy having to learn the job of FB. Also at this stage we do not have a 3rd rd pick

 

[Woods]

He doesn't want to play FB, so no. I would not draft him to play FB.

While we're at it, let's tack on 30 pounds to Martellus and make him our left tackle.

Better yet, why not add 15 pounds to Barber's frame and move him to fullback?

Come on, man. Alstott and Gerhart are nothing alike other than they, umm, look alike. There's nothing about this kid's style that makes him a fullback. Being big and white doesn't mean you can be the next Moose.

 

[rkell87]

he has made it clear he wants a shot at RB, i believe he has earned that right.

 

[NickZepp]

We have 3 really good RBs and a good FB, if he's around in the 4th-5th round, maybe take him beause you can get a better value there.

Would you take this guy in the third round and convert him to a FB? Could be another Moose.

no, no no. he is not a FB. plus blocking FBs can be had in rounds 6-7 and in terms of imporatance FB ranks dead last on the offensive side, so why waste a erd round pick?

 

[Natedawg44]

He runs nothing like alstott. He runs like Micheal Turner and should be treated as a similar type of prospect. Not an automatic fullback.

fortdick, get a clue

I have a feeling I know why people compare him to Moose and Alstott and think he's a fullback.

OK, if we have to compare him to a white guy, let's at least go with John Riggins.

This.
He is a legit everydown back. I like him alot. Im still a Tate fan from Auburn and I'd hope we get him- but Gerhardt would be a great pick for someone.

stop making sense

No and I don't think the Cowboys (or any other NFL team) will either.

 

[JBell]

We don't have a third, and no.

 

[Z mann R2]

Texans should take Gerhart.....and ENOUGH with the FB discussion! This guy is a runner right up the gut!!!
