Gholeston Slipping

[Joey_Potter]

According to ESPN First Take Ohio State OLB/DE Vernon Gholeston has slipped in the mind of nearly half the GM's in the draft. Those General Managers said the same thing I did months ago. Vernon Gholeston disappeared durring some games. Because of the observation I gave months ago some GM's are unwilling to pay him top dollar in spite of his obvious physical godlyness.

Dispite others being deterbed the Raiders seem interrested. I don't see him slipping past the Jets at #6.

OAK or NYJ will pick him. Those teams simply need him too much.

Maby the Jets although Calvin Pace is a pretty similar player. No way Okaland grabs him Al Davis wants Mcfadden and Kiffen wants a big D lineman. There's no chance that at four they won't be able to grab either Mcfadden or possibly Glenn Dorsey.

I hate to be picky but it's GHOLSTON and he's not slipping out of the Top 10 so I don't know what the worry is

[Drumsteroo]

Slipping does not have to mean out of the top 10, it can mean from 2 to 7, still a lot of money lost.

[Matt McGuire]

God damn when you said slipping I thought you meant to the teens.

He was never a top 4 pick to begin with, so ne never "slipped"

[Joey_Potter]

A lot of people had him top 4 Matt. I say he is Top 10.

[PuppyPuncher]

I say he'll bust when the pressure starts to add up from all the fans that notice him taking plays off.

[Saintsfan]

I say he go to the jets.

Hold up here. There's a big difference between "disappearing" and taking plays off. I don't think Gholston does the latter, he probably just lacks the football IQ and a bit of technique to more consistently put pressure on the passer.

Nobody notices 37 tackles on the year.....

...less tha 1/2 off Chris Long.

A lot of people had Reggie Bush #1 too.

That's certainly a great reason the Rams or Raiders should take him. He lacks technique (great coaching staff at Ohio State btw) and football IQ. Those things always get fixed (when it is more than one technique issue).

I believe you can fix technique, but IQ? I'm not so sure.
