Mike Goodson RB Tex A&M

[App Panther]

Looks pretty gifted. Could be a great returner and change of pace weapon if he can get his head on straight.

[Kevin Greene]

Interesting to see how he's used. Multi talented kid.

GOODSON, NOT fuging WOODSON

Looks impressive in the video, could be special.

Mike Goodson is indeed talented, and I think we'll see him primarily as a returner and perhaps a receiver out of the backfield. I've read of some character issues, but who knows.

Not good news for Decori Birmingham or Ryne Robinson.

Sorry for the double post. Blame the server.

Also, I think he will probably be a great value for where we picked him, though I was hoping for a defensive tackle (Vaughn Martin) or even some offensive line depth.

There is talk about him being able to play WR.

Mike Goodson, Texas A&M

Height: 6-0. Weight: 208.

Projected 40 Time: 4.40.

Combine 40 Time: 4.54.

Pro Day 40 Time: 4.43.

Benchx225: 14. Vertical: 39.5. Broad: 9-10.

Projected Round (2009): 5-6.

2/23/09: Somehow Mike Mayock's No. 5 running back, Mike Goodson ran an average 40 at his size, but notched a 39.5-inch vertical. He's a mid-round prospect at best.

1/20/09: Mike Goodson has declared a year early for the NFL Draft. His stock really depends on how fast his 40 is at the Combine. If he runs a 4.3, he made the right decision; if not, he should have stayed in school. Goodson totaled 406 rushing yards, 386 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.

Pick Analysis:Goodson is a big back with really impressive quickness and speed. He hasn't been a full-time starter in college, but he has great explosion and change of direction. He may develop into a multi-threat player in the NFL who can play slot receiver, catch screens, run the ball and return kicks.

AnalysisPositives: Lean, athletic build, but one that seems better suited to wide receiver in the NFL. Rare speed and agility. Quick to and through the hole. Can make defenders miss in tight spaces and flashes exceptional elusiveness in the open field. Rare balance and the ability to cut at top speed in either direction. Experienced receiver out of the backfield. Runs with functional power, despite less than ideal strength, as he keeps his legs churning and spins out of tackles. A threat to go the distance every time he has the ball in his hands. Lacks experience as a special teams returner, but has the potential to be a standout in this area -- much like former Aggie Dante Hall. Negatives: Lacks the bulk to be an every-down back. Marginal leg drive for short-yardage situations. Undeniable athleticism, but Goodson's production dropped in each of his three seasons with the Aggies -- and it can't be blamed on just touches as his yards per carry also dropped each year. Legitimate intangible red flags regarding his struggles to coexist with former Texas A&M head coach R.C. Slocum and his staff, as well as current head coach Mike Sherman and his staff, especially considering that Sherman publicly touted Goodson as the player the offense would be centered around when he took the position. Scouts will also question Goodson's toughness after he missed time with sprains in his neck, groin and right knee since last spring.

[dexterpyro]

good pick...needed a 3rd rb and can possibly play some receiver and make some returns.

[Proudiddy]

Initially I'm dumbfounded by the pick. Upon looking up his profile, if we are planning to use him primarily as a WR and try him as a KR/PR, then this could have great value... But once again, I think there were better prospects on the board at the time.

BTW, former Packers coach Mike Sherman, now the coach at A&M said at one time he was the future of there program and they would build the offense around him.

Check out his Vignette in his profile http://www.nfl.com/draft/2009/profiles/mike-goodson?id=80644, could be a sick RB/WR/Returner... Possibly a quicker more explosive Anquan Boldin.

(would've rather taken Louis Murphy, but we'll see)

[Sword]

sounds like a reggie bush type..since he's a 4th rounder he won't have super high expectations though.

[rayzor]

ummmm....wow.

that dude is fast and can squeeze through some tiny holes. man can flat out dance.

i'm in shock.
