We know that McGahee shows up when he wants to.
We know that McGahee has Rosen-Douche as a agent
We Know that McGahee is set to demand serious money soon.
We know that McGahee thinks of himself first. Especially his little photo holding the McFalrane figure of him.
Now, at 8, we will get a shot at DeAngelo Williams. I have watched alot of his games and hes the next LT. Hes not as good as Reggie Bush, but hes a stud. Heres his write up:
Deangelo Williams

Shows very good initial quickness and burst through the hole. He is a shifty runner but decisive. A slashing-type with good vision and patience. Shows very good COD skills. Plants and drives quickly when he sees the cutback lane. Runs with excellent pad-level and is a powerful runner. Shows some elusiveness in space. Will make some defenders miss in the open field. Also has the leverage, burst and power to run over defenders in the open field. He has good speed and shows an adequate second-gear. He has excellent natural power and rarely goes down with first contact. He breaks a lot of tackles and will push the pile as a short-yardage runner. He is slippery and quick. Will slither through small creases and then bounce runs quickly to the outside. He shows a strong stiff-arm and will ride defenders down the sideline. Has very good balance and body control. Has developed a very good feel for route running. Is mostly used on flares and dump offs but shows good hands and fluid hips. Should present matchup problems vs. LB's in the NFL. He can pluck on the run and catch over his head. He gets upfield quickly and is a threat after the catch. Has great power at the POA as a blocker. Has upside in that facet if his awareness and technique are refined. He's intelligent, hard-working and tough. An excellent team leader with impressive intangibles.
Weaknesses: Durability is somewhat of a concern. He has suffered a broken foot that cost him most of his sophomore season in high school, a knee sprain that cost him two games as a freshman in 2002, a season ending MCL tear in his left knee vs. Cincinnati in 2003 and a broken leg in the 2004 GMAC Bowl. He already has a lot of mileage on his legs. He lacks ideal height. Has good but not elite speed. He has had some fumbling problems in the past and needs to better protect the football. He still has some work to do in terms of technique as a pass blocker. Limited experience in that area. Lack of height also presents some matchup problems in pass pro.
Overall: Williams' mother has battled with breast cancer, which played a big part in him choosing to stay close to home in college. Williams started one of the 10 games that he played as a true freshman in 2002. He took over as a fulltime starter in his sophomore seasons in 2003 and has been the Tigers load-carrier since. Prior to his senior season in 2005, Williams had 659 carries for 4,062 yards and 37 touchdowns. As a junior in 2004, Williams rushed for 1948 yard and 22 TDs on 313 carries. He also had 18 receptions for 210 yards and one TD. As a senior in 2005, Williams rushed for 1,964 yards and 18 touchdowns on 310 carries, while also catching 12 passes for 78 yards and one touchdown. Williams was expected to depart for the NFL following his junior season but his broken leg in the GMAC Bowl played a part in his decision to return to Memphis for senior season in 2005. Williams bounced back as a senior in 2005 and answered any questions regarding his ability to return to form. He does have a lot of mileage on his legs and has had some trouble staying healthy in the past. He also lacks ideal height and elite speed. However, he has enough size, strength, quickness, toughness, vision and versatility to emerge as a premier starting running back in the NFL. He's an absolute workhorse as a ball carrier and he has enough receiving and blocking skills to emerge as an every-down starter at the next level. Furthermore, Williams is a high-character person with a great work ethic. In our opinion, Williams ranks among the elite prospects in the 2006 class and should be considered as a top-15 draft pick
Now, Im happy with any guy we take at 8. But Id love to land our franchise RB. ONLY, if we feel it ISNT McGahee. New regime, a GM who wants character guys.
I feel DeAngelo Williams will get yards regardless if its the last game in a 1 and 14 year or if its in the playoffs. We cant say that for McGahee.
That would make McGahee tradeable and who knows what we could get for him.
Like I said, I happy with taking a more conventional pick at 8 or even trading down. But, if we took Williams, I think we would be very very happy in the long run.
We know that McGahee has Rosen-Douche as a agent
We Know that McGahee is set to demand serious money soon.
We know that McGahee thinks of himself first. Especially his little photo holding the McFalrane figure of him.
