Pick #24: Chris Johnson, RB, ECU

Who the heck is Jerome Simpson?

 

Did I miss something? I thought St. Louis got Avery???

 

those are his stats as a FRESHMAN in 2004

his career NCAA stats are :
2982yds rushing / 32 TD's
1296 yards receiving / 10td's

his per game average (scrimmage) led the nation last year
he also had a 6.0 ypc average with 17td's rushing
total of 1,950 yards with 23 TD's
these are all last year alone

and doesn't even factor in his return production

 

This pick would have been fine if the Titans didn't draft Chris Henry last year.

 

I was thinking the same thing. He's not even on my top 100 list.

 

do your research

 

^tru dat

 

I've calmed down, did a bit of research... and now I'm not that upset to be honest. The highlight film showed me many, many, many moments where my mouth was left open. I know that a highlight film is just that, the best moments of a career I'm still happy with the pick. With our system, a RB does have more value than a WR. This kid can most def catch the ball and move after the catch, something that decides D. Jack I didn't see on the board, but this guy has the strength that D. Jack will never have. Don't forget that there is more than 1 round in the draft, and I feel we got the best talent that was on the board. I was obviously ignorant before the draft about him, but now I can't find anything about the kid that I don't like. Gun to my head, I'd say injuries MIGHT be an issue, but that the nature of the sport, and position. I'll say I like him better than Henry already, premature as that might be, seeing them side by side, I'd pick CJ. I'm surprised with all the *****ing last year about LW, that there wouldn't be more praising the heavens that we got a possible replacement. LenDale is a bum, but you aren't happy to get someone with EXTREME speed, the one thing I hear is holding us back. I swear sometimes it seems we could trade Donnie Nickie for LT, and people would have a problem with it somehow... cap room probably.

 

Sorry. You are right I was looking at 2006 stats. Still those stats are nothing to right home about for a first rounder.
