chiplohmillers#1 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Looks like everyone agrees. It's a move beyond the realm of consideration and thus should be treated like every other pipe dream acquisition thread on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldskool Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Gholston will be a top 5 pick also. I want somebody to tell me of a STUD DE who will be at 21 OR in the 2nd round. C. Campbell IS NOT a STUD so don't even use his name. These are the DE's that will most likely still be on the board at #21. Lawrence Jackson, DE, USC Quentin Groves, DE/OLB, Auburn Cliff Avril, DE/OLB, Purdue Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida Phillip Merling, DE, Clemson Make up your mind of any of them are "studs" or not. I definately know which one I'd choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mi6 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Chris would be welcome and a great addition to our defense. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahogs Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Gholston Man, I'll disagree. Long just might be the best d-end prospect since Reggie White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan09 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I would love to have him but he is out of our reach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.T.real,lights,out Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Just my opin, but i dont think he's going to be that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Does the starter of this thread understand the compensation the Redskins would have to offer a team to move into the top 2-4 picks? Come on! With the holes on this team we can't afford to offer someone a package to get one player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[ghost]] Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Just my opin, but i dont think he's going to be that good. Mine as well. He's an excellent athlete, but without his heritage, I wonder how much attention he'd get. He's good, but not the best thing to come out since Reggie White.

Oldskool Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 There is some extreme homerism/manlove for Long. I'm always leary of players who have immense talent but don't go to school at programs that play in "football conferences". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will go on record and say Long, if he starts most of the season will be the Defensive Rookie of the Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squatch66 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 wow robb thats a pretty bold claim considering the crop of defensive talent that is coming out this year. whoever the defensive rookie of the year is i just hope he plays for the skins.

Well since most people agree itis stupid to trade up to get Long, we most likely won't have the D.R.O.T.Y but I hope whoever we get is at least 2nd place for the record I still think if there was a way to do it we should Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long chose UVA because it's an excellent school (arguably the best public university in the nation) and Al Groh is a coach that prepares his players quite well for the NFL. Also, Howie Long chose to live in Charlottesville, VA over any other place in the country (he could have moved his family anywhere); Charlottesville is consistently voted one of the top places to live in America.

Thats great for him and his family and I applaud him for going to an actual University to receive an education instead of an overblown JC (*cough* Miami *cough*). Still the fact remains that Virginia plays in the ACC and doesn't see much top shelf competition week in and week out. I'll be very interested to see how he develops during his rookie season and if he has any hiccups. He seems to have all the physical tools to succeed as well as the pedigree.

He seems to have all the physical tools to succeed as well as the pedigree. It hasn't seemed to effect the production of the few top draft picks that have come out of UVA, or for that matter other top draft picks coming from the ACC or for that matter other phenoms (Chris Long is a phenom) coming from even smaller conferences. Also, I don't think I've heard or read a single bad thing about Chris Long, there seems to be a consensus from the pundits that he's the "real deal."
