      I get the theory of having a good Oline for your RB - but end of the day, the pick at OL has to match where they are being drafted too
      I would have liked Jackson too, but the price of 5 #1s on the OL is mind boggling.
      Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
      Let’s win one for Mack.

          My point was more the Yahoo guy said the Chargers should take OL and the Raiders should take OL - -and not trying to be an apologist for the Raiders but what if truly, they had Jeanty, the best damn player left on their board. And Membou was not close

          Take the best damn player

            He and Willis McGahee in college have similar styles and traits. Willis drafted similar spot years ago. Just watching his college tape i see a lot of similarities. Hampton in this system should really work well with his style. Lots of A gap penetration. One cut and power penetration. Similar to Henry so i can see thats why he gets that comp. I thought i saw some Lev Bell but not quite as patient letting holes develop. And not the same vision. I am seeing the smaller Derrick Henry traits now. I think McGahee was similar and thats why the Ravens at one point brought him in. Much better in the passing game as Henry. Titans really held him back on passing downs.

              Yall kind of young in here. But Omarion Hampton reminds me of a guy I was in a wedding with. Fred Taylor.

              same build. Fred was a taller back. Fred was a better receiver. Someone post the tape in here of Fred at Florida and Omarion at North Carolina. You’ll be looking at identical players.

                I don’t understand why people are upset with this pick. They got the best RB in the class and the combo of Harris and Hampton is going to wear down defenses. This was a great pick.
                Time to put my money where my mouth is: Hampton will be better than Jeanty!

                  Thats a good call. I see some Edge James also. And with Herberts love of checking down? He could put of Edge type passing totals. 60 receptions a year sort of thing.

                  Corey Dillon also comes to mind.

                    That's a good comparison, too.

                    I just see so much Ahman Green in him.

                      One factor people aren’t saying in here and draft experts aren’t saying is Joe Alt. This completes are pick of Joe Alt. Joe Alt opens up wholes. And having a Tackle like that who plays angry and pushes like Sewell you get a running back like Hampton you’re having a Jamry Gibbs effect on this team. It’s just facts lots of 40 yard runs a lot of stuff to the outside. Multiple 5 yard runs. First downs.

                        Another name I’ll throw out there Rickey Watters similar. Rickey could go nuts. He has that to him.
