Looks like you're right, but the fastest CB being a 4.46 is a little shocking.

2 years

7 INTs

182 tackles

6 TFL

3 forced fumbles

I think way too much stock is put into the 40.

This whole draft class seems weak this year. Not just the 40 times.

Update on Bruton.

After watching the drills tivo'd and doing some research I like him as a "team" guy. Team captain, good tackler, made big plays...

but he was very stiff int he coverage drills. He has good straight-line speed but he is going to struggle in space.

I can relate as it was the same issue I had
You are either born with swivel hips or you weren't.

So I'd say he is a solid cover 2 type safety that needs to play far off the ball where he can charge plays but he won't be great man covering TE's.

Somebody on another board was saying that Bruton has always been this way... Great "measureables" athlete who doesn't live up to it on the football field.

So I wonder if this is a case of another combine warrior. I don't know.

But I agree with burm -- I think this draft is really weak overall. At least there seem to be a few good OL and DL, which we need.

And you're agreeing the draft is weak without seeing a single player play a snap, is that any more fickle?

You never know, till you know.
