Buffan00 Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Saw on NFL Network combine coverage TD saying how Clarett looks good at 238 lbs. and is looking forward to seeing him more. Others say he is a high 4th rounder and working his way up the boards! I'd take him in the 4th in a minute!!!
EvansOnAFlyPattern Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 he won't last that long remember WM......people had him falling alot further
SuperBills12 Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 out of football 2 years, and really has 2 years experience of college football...we don't need him

I follow the BIg Ten/Michigan/OSU close and Clarett as a Freshman was dominating pro-level d-lines! Hes fast and can catch! Plus obviously young!

I remember he had one good year when Ohio State won the national championship....I hessitate to change my assessment, but having him and Willis in the backfield would be entertaining
PTS Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 If he falls to the 4th round, I can definitely see TD taking him and why not? The guy would have been a Top 5 pick if he entered the draft after his Freshman year. And again, this would be a guy with something to prove to everyone. Willis is a mad man, he's pissed at everyone for counting him out and he wants to prove himself on the field. I'd love to have him as our backup RB.

Steven in MD Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 There is almost no way he gets out of the 2nd round. There are just too many teams with RB needs for him to survive that long. So look for the Bills to move up to the first round and draft him.
Phlegm Alley Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 This guy's stock is rising like crazy now. That is all fans have to hear about him to be all over his jock now. However, he might be a good pick up. He does have great size, and he does have a lot to prove. I really don't think that he would be that big of a cancer. WM had his kneww destroyed in that National Championship game against the Buckeyes. IMO, Willis could show the guy the ropes and challenge Shaud at the #2 spot.

GG Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 For fwiw, Clarett just ran a bad 40 at the combine - 4.82 (unofficial) I don't think it'll matter as they're saying he's bulked up 10 lbs since OSU. The guy was chisseled, and I haven't seen tree trunks like that since Robert Newhouse. And a lament, where was the NFL Network when I actually had time for all this? Round the clock combine coverage. Are you kidding me? (Edit) Clarett's second run was in the 4.7 range.
NavyBillsFan Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 I feel the draft is a place for chance. Stars and duds.... We saw Denver take a chance on a injured running back and win 2 superbowls... We see New England take a QB in what 7th round I think? Well 3 superbowls later...... We see the Bills take a kid whos knee was blown out and he is now a stud.... Take a chance on the kid and lets see what he can do! Its like investing in stock guys......
stevestojan Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 TD knows what he is doing. He picked WM when everyone else thought he was crazy. Now we instantly have one of the best backs in the league. If he ends up picking MC, I will trust that TD knows that he will be viable as a backup...
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Whoa......4.82 and 4.72...... Nice
soljc Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 There is almost no way he gets out of the 2nd round. There are just too many teams with RB needs for him to survive that long.

Ralonzo Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 I've been telling you, TD is on record saying he will not draft Clarett.
Alaska Darin Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Mike Mamula was the alltime example of why no one should ever judge a player on combine workouts. Clarett's 40 time is the least of his worries, though if he can get his head right he could be pretty good.
stevestojan Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 I've been telling you, TD is on record saying he will not draft Clarett. 254067[/snapback] I've heard Drew Blesoe go on record saying this is HIS team... oops! (just kidding, i know that's two different things)
GG Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 I've been telling you, TD is on record saying he will not draft Clarett. 254067[/snapback] When did he say that? I don't recall him ever dismissing drafting a player out of hand. I recall in an interview last year where he said that Clarett should definitely not enter the draft and that teams should not be in favor of young kids joining the NFL. But when the interviewer specifically asked TD if he would pass up Clarett if he was ruled eligible in 2004, TD gave a vague non-answer.
Nanker Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Whoa......4.82 and 4.72......Nice 254007[/snapback] Well, at least he's faster than TD!
