    Hawks get Rasheem Green with second pick (third round). Much better selection.

    It's not that Penny is a bad RB, he's actually my top back after Barkley in the draft. He's damn good, for a RB.

    It's that drafting a RB in the first round just demonstrates they still have no clue how they dug this hole and no clue how to get out of it. RB isn't completely worthless but it's easily the least valuable position, especially if the RB in question doesn't excel as a receiver.

    They got better with Penny but only marginally so. Much bigger impact could have been made at damn near every other non QB position.

    Disagree. Look at the impact Gurley and Fournette had for their teams. I think it depends on what you are trying to do offensively. Pete wants to run the ball.


    I'd still rather have Landry though.
    Barry Sanders couldn’t run behind that line.

    Pettis’ Skills wont transfer to the NFL. You heard it here first. Not strong enough and not a good enough route runner. He did most of his damage against PAC 12 special Olympic secondaries on post routes. He had a ton of room to operate due to the Safeties having to respect Gaskin and Coleman. He won’t have any of those luxuries in SF.

    He had 1 catch in the Fiesta Bowl.

    The draft is the fucking worst. Not because of the actual draft itself, but all the stupid fucking armchair retards who go cut from the 8th grade team come out in full force. "His lateral movement makes him a 5 tech but his burst and inside swim can make him a 3 tech or slide him outside and then he becomes tech 9"

    God shut the fuck up. One Hugh Millen is bad enough we don't need everyone who doesn't have a clue about football turning into one.

    I chuckled into my coffee when reading this. You are added to my "white people to not have killed when I become dictator" list.

    feel free to watch some highlight tapes and you'll see that the reason he has room to operate is because he can draw the defender the wrong direction and off balance with his route running and then he's open.
