Personally, you might hear me scream "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!" all the way from my basement in Missouri.

as I would for any of the picks ... welcome to the team .. open arms.

If McF is picked I'd say the same thing but I would be pissed at Raider management for wasting a 4th round pick last year and not developing its talent. But I wouldn't hold it against McF.

I don't want to gamble on a player that disappears entirely in some games with a #4 pick. So my reaction would *sigh*

I really hope the Merriman comparison by NFL DC is spot on. Rob knows how develop those LB's and I hope if we get Gholston he can play DE and LB effectively for us.

If Chris Long, Darren McFadden and Glenn Dorsey are the first three picks and NOT on the board when we pick, then I would say fine. However, if we choose Gholston over those three guys I will be highly pissed off, since all three would be a MUCH better choice than taking a chance on a project like Gholston, epecially with his history of disappearing in games at OSU.

Being a Buckeye football homer, I can attest to that. He'll look amazing for small stretches being in on most of the plays, then he'll start taking plays off and it's like he's not even on the field. Not what you want from an "every down DE", which is why scouts feel he's MUCH better suited to be a pass rushing specialist as a 3-4 LB.

I'll laugh that some dude is in his basement in MO already writing off our first pick.
