Chris Polk would be perfect.

Let's get this out of the way before people start commenting, it's way toooo early to start talking about the draft.

Thank you, I know.

But when Kenny Britt went down we had tons of threads on WRs in the draft next year popping up. It is a good year for WRs... Justin Blackmon, Alshon Jeffrey, Nick Toon, Ryan Broyles.... All first round talents. There's a couple I'm missing too because I don't follow college so closely.


BUT what people don't seem to get.... Kenny Britt's coming back. He's hurt. Not dead. Damian Williams is coming along nicely, Wash has always been a solid #2. Got high hopes for Donnie Avery. And with all the elite WR prospects coming out this year, I bet there's gonna be some pretty nice dudes falling to the mid-rounds.





So let's talk about RBs.

One guy in particular has caught my eye. Chris Polk.

First of all he's a great runner.
Stats for this year so far: Attempts: 183 Yards: 1016 Average: 5.6 Long: 61 TDs: 9

That's not a one year wonder either, his past two seasons have been damn near identical.

He has speed to go the distance, but he's also 222lbs at only 5'11.


He's also a threat to catch the ball out of the backfield, already has 250 yards recieving and 3TDs this season.

And what I like the most... He's from WashU. Played with Jake Locker for three years. Jake's probably gonna start at some point next year. It'd be nice to see them paired back up. I bet playing together would make the transition to the NFL a lot easier on both of them.



And what I like second most. With Ray Graham, LaMichael James, Nick Barnor, and Richardson all coming into the draft this year, there's a very good chance this dude will drop to the second round.

Kind of like remember how the Eagles drafted Jeremy Maclin, and then still got to pick up LeSean McCoy in the second round.

This would be a steal of that proportion.




Anybody know Jake Locker personally? Tell him to start champing up his homeboy. It's never too early.




I also wouldn't be upset with Trent Richardson (Lol, who would? Dude's a BEAST) of Alabama, but we'd have to use our first round pick forsure, and he might even go too high for us.

Not so high on LaMicheal James. CJ's made me hate speed backs. But really, we need something at that position. Probably our biggest need heading into the offseason.

 

Our O-line works just fine for Ringer and Hasselbeck.

It worked just fine last year. Don't know how it suddenly became such a huge issue.

I admit Amano's horrible. But the Eagles got Kelce in the fifth round.

Wasting a first and second on more O-lineman would be just that. waste.

 

Why you wanna know what world I'm living in? You tryin to hook up? I'm not down.

Ringer wouldn't get more than 3.5 yards per carry behind any O-line in this league.

It's just a matter of getting a new center. Could be adressed in free agency or any other round in the draft.... No need to draft an entire new O-line. That's dumb.

BTW, nothing's ridiculous on the interweb. Chillax homie, smoke a blunt.

 

Admitting failure is wayyyyyy better than pretending you didn't fail and not do anything about it. But yo I love Jamie Harper. I really wanna see him get a chance. Don't know why he's only got five touches in the regular season. Incidentally he's the only back to not have been stuffed in the backfield. Even on just five touches. Lol.

But see that's the thing.. You said about Dwayne Bowe. Vincent Jackson's also a free agent next year. So is Stevie Johnson. So is Desean Jackson. There are soooooooo many good WRs in the NFL. If this team would just spend some damn money, it wouldn't be an issue at all. And I don't even think ours are half-bad. Let's give Damian the rest of the season before we judge. He's already glimmering, I bet he shines by the end of it.

Ehhhh. There's so many positions we "need", it's hard to key in on just one. But RB seems to be the most crucial. We really have nobody to put on the field, and point blank, if we can't run the ball. We're not going anywhere.

That's also why I brought this up. I said Chris Polk and not Ray Graham, Trent Richardson, or LaMichael James. I think he'll be around in the second round as long we're drafting somewhat early. Or at least in the first half. I think we will be. Not to say I've given up on this season, but I've given up on this season.


I think the first pick should be a DE. I can't think of a name, I don't follow college heavily. But we get no pass rush whatsoever, and JJ will probably even be gone next year.


Draft should look like this in my ideal world.

1st.) DE
2nd) RB (Polk)
3rd) C
4) WR

the rest are irrelevant.

 

Who said that? I didn't. I didn't even like the Locker pick. I was going for Fairley in the first, and Mallet or Dalton (Really I wanted Mallet, but now that Dalton showed and proved I say "and Dalton" lol) in the second. Ha. I'm just rollin with him now cuz he is our QB, and he did look good in the preseason. Gotta give everyone a chance.


When you have so many issues who's to say what's the most important issue? Plus didn't we just draft Ayers and McGrath last year. Let's chill on the linebackers.

DL and RB in this draft.

There's really nothing that wrong with our offesive line outside of Amano. The CJ apologists have you guys all completely fooled.
