Chicago_Mike Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 This makes more sense now. High-paced offense w/ speedsters with a guy who can get them the ball down the field. I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAWNDO Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) I think this pick is stupid as hell. How about some D? A tight end? DB and TE a little bare there unfortunately Edited April 27, 2013 by BRAWNDO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumbalaya Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 A cheaper version of Tavon Austin . . . think of it this way, we got a Tavon-like player in the 3rd, and a QB in the 1st. Could be real fun! Tavon look alike maybe but not Tavon. The dude touched the ball 33 times last year. Tavon does that in two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Marrone and Hackett want speed and playmakers. Drafting Woods first, who is already a polished WR and a solid, real WR to play opposite Stevie, made this pick more palpable. We're gonna have a track team out there in some packages.

D521646 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I don't agree. Austin is a football player that happens to be fast. Goodwin is a fast guy trying to play football Boloney! He's got great hands, and versatile. That highlight reel at the 2:50 mark and that stop and go, he literally stopped, and then ran 25 yards to catch the ball in the end zone. You DO NOT see that everyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Goodwin is lightning and looks a lot bigger then Graham so I don't think that's a fair comparison TJ Grahm is 6 feet tall. Goodwin is 5'8 and about a buck 70. You got it backwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prickly Pete Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Every highlight is like 30+ yards...potential to be dangerous http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViWLWmMA-Yo He looks better than Graham. I can't help but think that they have a specific role in mind for this guy in the new offense. I wonder if they intend to use him for those end around plays? Between Manuel, Spiller, and this guy, they can get a lot of misdirection going on that will demand some quick decisions from defenders. Other than that though, I don't like the pick.

TPS Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I'm picturing that end around play with EJ at QB and CJ at RB, what's a defense to do? Will EJ give it to Goodwin, or hand it to CJ, or keep it and run, or keep and hit TJ deep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Romes Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I don't really like this pick either. But I'm excited to see what Hackett and Marrone cook up for us on the offense. It could be fun to watch if they use all the little pieces well. Yeah it was a riot watching the team try to work in Parrish year after year until they finally gave up. Then chan tried for a few more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Beyond the obvious speed, what the Youtube video shows me is unusual field vision and elusiveness. He is clearly more than "just a track guy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's usually a non factor whereas Tavon is the whole offense and probably the most dynamic player in college. Goodwin is good at track though. He can long jump like a mofo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one guy complaining actually is complaining over something they saw in a game, its over stats they just googled and about who they wanted instead. Actually it is, I've seen him play many times. He's usually a non factor whereas Tavon is the whole offense and probably the most dynamic player in college. Goodwin is good at track though. He can long jump like a mofo I saw him play several times too and I guess it was just coincidence cuz he wowed a bunch of times Edited April 27, 2013 by Alphadawg7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 FWIW, I wasn't crazy about the pick. But after seeing the game highlights something jumped out that wasn't evident with TJ's highlights last year. This kid makes plays, and there is that second gear that makes people appreciate the speed. I never saw that in TJ's highlight reel and it obviously translated to his game in 2012. Next concern was Goodwin's size. 5'8" 180 lbs is a bit of a liability in NFL. But the kid has a stocky build that I don't think would get snapped like Roscoe did every time he took a hit. So, in conclusion, I'm ok with the pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
