Justice Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 round pick. This guy was there reason McGahee didn't want to go back to UM. He was actually ahead of McGahee on the depth chart a few years ago up until his injury. This is his second year back from that injury and he played all of last year. his stats from last season don't look too impressive but the UM offensive line wasn't very ggod last year. The line suffered some injuries and they lost some guys in the draft. If we trade Henry, this guy would be a perfect fit. He can probably play some FB too because he is a pretty big back.

Tux of Borg Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Gore has had multiple ACL injuries and his numbers are way down from his freshman year. Too big of a gamble in the 3rd round IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gore isn't nearly as good as Willis, and he's proven to be highly injury-prone. I wouldn't take him with a 5th rounder, much less a 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UB2SF Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 ...and a 6 for his Wonderlic score... the lowest of all Combine participants. I don't want to bash the guy for his well-documented learning disability, but it's another legitimate strike against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 He dropped about 25 pounds between the season & his workout. I don't really know what this means since he is a lot lighter than his seasonal playing weight. I don't really like it when a player adds or loses significant weight because you don't get an accurate read on what it will mean as a pro. A recent example of a guy gaining weight before the draft was Erik Flowers. Weight shifts present another layer of uncertainty in evaluating a player. Will the weight stay on/off? Who knows.

MadBuffaloDisease Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 He dropped about 25 pounds between the season & his workout. Probably did that to produce a better 40-time. It didn't help since he ran just under 4.60. His speed and quickness are gone. Forget him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Dumb as a brick, constant injury problems and a string of inconsistent play...and yet people still want him. This is a deep draft with actually capable RBs...we dont need Gore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodnarb Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 gore is a ghost of his former self. gore will NOT be drafted before the 4th round, and I'll take ANY bet on the table that that holds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to Frank, 3rd Round is way too early, he should be around the 6th and although interesting, I'd pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
