Sheesh, people. In the long and storied history of Raiderfans.net, this may be one of the silliest threads ever. Having a favorite is one thing. But some of the things being said about Gholston here are ridiculously wrong.
I'm curious, how many of the "experts" here have ..
1. Broken down coaching film on Gholston? (I'm guessing none of you)
2. Spoken with him to try to understand his character and football IQ? (None?)
3. Scouted him during the season? (None?)
4. Spoken with his coaches at OSU? (Lemme guess ... none?)
I'd venture to guess that all most of you know about Gholston is what you've selectively chosen to believe from what's been written over the past couple months and maybe watched him play once or twice (and by watched him, I don't mean casually viewed an OSU game). Yet based on that, you know for sure who's going to be a bust and who won't.
Sure.
A lot of people who have done a lot more scouting than you or I think Gholston is one of the elite players in the draft and arguably the player with the most upside.
Are they right? I have no idea. But I won't pretend that I know something they don't.

yeah...those people didn't even have him in the top 10 til after his workout...that's why he got tagged a workout warrior...we sure as hell didn't come up with the term. We also didn't come up with the terms: raised his stock....moved up a lotta peoples boards after his workout...yadda yadda. Sorry..burned too many times picking athletes instead of players. #4 pick should be an immediate impact starter...not a d-line who no matter how high people are on him...always mention how he has a questionable motor and takes plays off...last person we drafted like that? Darrell Russell!!!
