Did you have that already typed in?

Don Ho will be sportin' a chubbie now.

I figured they would have picked a guy they hated.

What do they do with Hunt and Ilaoa now? Get rid of Buck and Moats for a 1st!

PhillyPhreak54 · April 29, 2007, 05:25:29 PM

I like this pick a lot.

I wonder if we have to put GF on suicide watch? Maybe they see this guy as a replacement for Tapeh?

DonHo is going to go nuts

goeagles99:

QuoteFormer slot receiver grew into a very good power back. Has very good feet for such a big guy. He's got the body and speed of a FB, but the skills of a RB. Awkward combination. Short, thick build. 5'9, 254. Bowling ball with legs. Good on chip blocks. Runs hard. Will attack defenders. Ran for almost 1700 yds and 20 TDs in his career. Caught 151 passes. More quick than fast. Only ran a 4.77 at his Pro Day.

SUMMARY

Awkward player. Strictly a role player at RB. I don't know if he's good enough as a lead blocker to be a starting FB. Will need to go to a team that uses their RBs creatively. Either a late rounder or UDFA.

lol, you know what I meanz. They visited with him a few times, worked him out.

But 100% Moats is traded or cut by june first now. Also I guess they carry 4 RBs.

That was the first thought that went through my head. Bye bye reno reno bye bye. He had better be working on his order taking skills.

PhillyPhreak54 · April 29, 2007, 05:32:15 PM

Reno is already gone. He's a UFA

General_Failure · April 29, 2007, 05:33:27 PM

Really? I can't believe the Pats haven't snatched him up yet.

when will the birds take an athletic player....its unreal how vanilla their picks are

PhillyPhreak54 · April 29, 2007, 05:35:59 PM

Ever seen this dude, IGY?

He's pretty athletic for being 245 and only 5'8. He can move.
