Dre Kirkpatrick pro day - Dallas Cowboys Forum

Did anyone see any video of it. Was it me or did he look stiff and uncomfortable? I wasn't even remotely impressed and would be very disappointed if we drafted him.

He's not smooth at all. I think that's why many project him to move to FS. If we go CB, hopefully Gilmore is the pick, not Kirkpatrick.

What video did you see. The ones on youtube doesn't show any drills that you can see if he is stiff.

I used to be okay with Gilmore but now it just seems like he is an after thought within the CB draft prospects. It's like he was thrown into the mix because Jenkins is a mess off the field and Kirkpatrick might not be a CB in the NFL. To be honest Gilmore isn't even that impressive. He's a new option, the flavor of the week, but I don't really like him that much either. Can't you compare him with a lot of 2nd rounders?

I'm trying to find some now. I know I saw them on tv on the nfl network and espn. I just dismissed how awkward he looked running the drills and forgot about it until now.

Here is the entire Alabama Pro Day video for Kirkpatrick. I think the good stuff starts at the 1:02:00 mark.

I watched it live an didn't think he looked stiff but he wasnt particularly sudden.

cowboysooner · 04-09-2012

He looks like a physical, good tackling zone corner.

Didn't like what I saw, he moves too high.

I agree he looks like a physical player. Strap 20 lbs on him and put him at FS and I think he'd be sick.

I think that's a more accurate version of what I was trying to say.

I agree.

I don't care for many of the top CBs in this draft. The 2nd and 3rd round players look almost just as good IMO. I like Gilmore and Jenkins is the best but has to many red flags.

Fleming, Robinson, Boykin, and Norman looks good

I honestly think Casey heyward from vandy is better than gilmore. I like heyward a lot
