Chris Long vs. Vernon Gholston

Recommended Posts

So all I keep hearing about is how Gholston feasted on weak competition to pad his sack totals.

So who the hell did Chris Long ever play against that was so good? Last time I checked the ACC was garbage.

I think the whole competition thing is overrated when evaluating college players. Who was Marques Colston going up against in college? Same for Wayne Chrebet. Jerry Rice? Didn't Michael Strahan play for an HBCU? I doubt Strahan lined up against future HOF'ers every Saturday.

A lot of Long's sacks came from rushing in 3 down linemen fronts.

Good point. I just dont understand the whole "Gholston feasted on weak comp" statements, considering most of his sacks ( 7 of his 14 sacks) were against Wisconsin and Michigan this season, not exactly bad teams.

And I actually like Chris Long more.

Chris Long had 2 sacks in 12 games in 2005,,,5 sacks in 12 games in 2006 and 14 sacks in 13 games in 2007,,,,Plus he got knocked around by Jeff Otah of Pittsbugh..sounds like a project to me,,,a gamble,,,,could be a bust..I DONT THINK I WOULD TAKE HIM AT 6 EVEN THOUGH HE HAS BEEN PROJECTED AS A CANT MISS PROSPECT

Defensively speaking, he is the safest player to draft.
