I pointed out in one of the training camp tweets that I don’t remember every hearing the front office and other players gushing about a running back to this degree. Neither Williams nor Stewart got this much praise as rookies.

Maybe Goodson is just a bit further along in his development, or perhaps everyone is just excited about his potential to play different positions.

It might be because Stewart and Williams were both first round picks, therefore had higher expectations.

I've been to a few practices and he does look MUCH smaller than Stewart and Williams.

If that’s the case, where was the hype for fellow third-round pick Steve Smith, another speedy guy who was brought in for his potential in the return game? Maybe my memory fails, but I don’t recall Smith being lauded as much as Goodson is now.

My thought of Goodson when he was first drafted was that of a poor man's Percey Harvin. That could be a good thing. Lower expectations and all. I'm thinking he may end up being a faster version of Nick Goings. Solid contributor that on occasion can make some big plays but not a starter.

I also wonder if drafting Goodson, who could sub as a WR and not a FB, allowed the team to go out and draft Fiammett (sp?) as Hoovers eventual replacement. I know a lot of people hate the "player who can play multiple positions" but they do serve a purpose when they are in a backup role.

I think too much hype has been put on him. If he cant be both a KR and a PR really other guys deserve that spot who could. I mean if everyone is so crazy about him cause he could be a WR then why not just have a WR? I have not hear much about Beavers but no one said he dropped any punts ether.... Also Goodson will have to put on some pounds. At 6-0 and 212 pounds Delhomme is bigger then him. Not a guy you want running at LBs.

from everything that i've read so far...

1. he's got speed, but not the pop that williams and stewart have in the backfield.

2. he's got good hands, but he can't catch a punt.

3. he can possibly play slot, but he may need to be in open space to be effective.

i'm not impressed.

LOL! As if either Williams and Stewart had all these things that you could easily see in the first week of TC.

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      By Martin · Posted

      I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
